More Description "An engaging, deftly-plotted mystery with a smart, tough-minded heroine. Shelley Costa delivers a terrific series debut" (Daniel Stashower, New York Times-bestselling author).
When Val Cameron, a senior editor with a New York publishing company, is sent to the Canadian Northwoods to sign a reclusive bestselling author or risk losing her job, she is definitely out of her element. Val is certain she can convince Charles Cable, but first she has to find him.
Aided by a floatplane pilot whose wife was killed two years ago in a case gone cold, Val's hunt for the recluse becomes even more muddled. When all signs point to Cable as the killer, she must work to clear his name before the scandal sinks her career.
Trapped in a wilderness lake community where livelihoods collide and a killer lurks, the prospect of running into a bear could be the least of Val's problems.
"Costa hits all the right notes--vulnerable but likable characters, a compelling plot, a clearly drawn setting, and a tangled web of past and present events." --Sheila Connolly, New York Times-bestselling author of the County Cork Mysteries
"A strong plot and engaging characters make for a well-crafted mystery, and Val's humorous attempts to cope with the wilderness do much to lighten the tension." --Publishers Weekly
"Taut, well written and suspenseful . . . draws readers into a community where the past haunts the present and residents' motives are buried deep . . . just like the truth." --Kylie Logan, national bestselling author of the Ethnic Eats Mysteries
