About this series
Suspense simmers in the suburb of Walnut Hills as Kate tries to figure out who killed her recently divorced friend Mona Sterling.

With the help of mutual friend Sharon Covington, Kate contends with Mona’s troubled teenage daughter and her surly boyfriend, Mona’s ex-husband and his suspicious wife, and a mysterious stranger plying kids with candy on the school grounds – all while trying to ferret out the killer and decide what to do about the handsome detective Michael Stone.

Kate Austen has always had a soft spot for people in trouble, but stopping to help stranded motorist Sheryl Ann Martin is a terrible mistake. With her dead husband in the trunk and her killer boyfriend at her side, Sheryl Ann is in trouble. And so is Kate – held hostage in a remote cabin by a couple who can’t afford to let her live. Kate’s only hope is a desperate run for freedom, but when she is rescued, her nightmare is just beginning. “Jacobs provides more than a few breathtaking surprises before wrapping up this heart-pounding story.” Publisher’s Weekly. “Jacobs’ crisp writing style and tightly woven chapters keep Kate’s living nightmare as real as it gets.” San Francisco Chronicle. “Jacobs gives excellent value in terms of chills and puzzles per page.” The Chicago Tribune.
