About this ebook

Guilt and grief kept Katie Nilsson away from her hometown for a decade. Now, a nationally acclaimed financial blogger, she's back in the small hamlet of Lakeside, IL for her grandfather's funeral, and she soon discovers he was swindled by the town's mayor a few years before. When an unusually large number of the town's citizens start mysteriously dying off, Blake Jakobsen, Katie's childhood friend, now a local police detective, begins to suspect a sinister plot that extends to both coasts. But it's Katie's expertise in finance that leads her, with Blake's help, to the killer's fiendish motive. The answers only point to more questions, and she begins to wonder if her beloved grandfather didn't really suffer a fatal heart attack after all. Was he on the serial killer's hit list? If so, why? Katie races to find the answers and, shockingly, comes face to face with the killer who asks her to do the unthinkable.
Katie Nilsson offers readers an intelligent heroine with heart and humor who—once persuaded—isn't afraid to face her demons.

Donald Dempsey

Don Dempsey experienced childhood abuse and neglect first hand, but went on to have a fulfilling family life as an adult and to own his own business. "If you're lucky, you make it to adulthood in one piece," says Don. "But there's no guarantee the rest of your life is going to be any better. Abused kids are often plagued by fear and insecurity. They battle depression and have trouble with relationships. In the worst cases, abused children perpetuate the cycle." But Don is living proof that you can overcome a childhood of abuse and neglect. "You start by letting go of as much of the guilt (yes, abused kids feel guilty) and as many of the bad memories as possible. At the same time, you hold on to the things that helped you survive. For me, it was the belief that you can make life better by working at it and earning it. It helps to have a sense of humor, too."
