About this ebook
Like any successful writer, Paisley had the help of generous friends and colleagues on the way up. Now, insists her mother, it's her turn to come to the aid of a fledgling novelist. But how can reading a manuscript open the book to murder, involving Paisley in a plot to blackmail some of the leading citizens of her beloved Rowan Springs? Solving this crime brings danger very close to home--and someone Paisley holds dear may not survive!
