  The truth takes a detour in this cozy camping whodunit set in the beautiful New Mexico wilderness—first in the Black Horse Campground Mystery series. 
   
   
    
  The Black Horse Campground, outside of Bonney, New Mexico, has been in Corrie Black's family for years. But since her father's death, she's been running it alone—along with her trusted employees and an eccentric group of year-rounders and regular visitors. 
   
   
    
  In between spring break and summer is usually a downtime for Corrie and the campground, even with Bike Rally Weekend on the horizon. This April, however, peace and quiet are not an option. A disconcertingly attractive biker arrives, who arouses the suspicions of Corrie's childhood friend and one-time ex, Sheriff Rick Sutton. Then, one of Corrie's favorite guests is shot dead in his own RV, leaving his wheelchair-bound wife in the care of a son whom no one knew existed. 
   
   
    
  And though Corrie is warned by Rick to stay out of his investigation, she can't sit by while her home and friends are threatened. And no one is more surprised than Corrie when she discovers that her little piece of paradise is brimming with secrets and scandals that put a gun in the hands of a most unlikely killer . . .

  After a bad day at work, accountant Dave Smith has one too many at the bar. A seemingly normal traffic stop later that evening rips him away from his wife and kids and into servitude. He has been drafted into Megacorp Greenrock Solutions’ newest business venture. A core of mercenaries established to provide a service for the purpose of killing for profit. 
  These aren’t just any mercenaries. Greenrock built a lab to genetically enhance their assassins, giving them super-human strength and increased capacity for violence. Unknown to their captors, the enhancements also give them the ability to join their minds together into a collective. 
  Greenrock’s deeds have attracted the attention of law enforcement, however. There are a group of detectives putting the pieces together and closing in on Greenrock. 
  Dave and his band of enhanced conscripts are also using their shared mind to work out ways to free themselves. 
  The lab’s directors will use any means to protect their investments. In many ways they are more vile than the assassins they produce. 
  Is this a fight anyone can win?

  What do you do when everything you’ve held to be true, when your entire life, in fact, turns out to be a lie? When 22-year-old Steve Cline learns that he’s illegitimate, and his real father is a race- horse trainer, he heads to the Maryland track. Steve’s father recruits him to work undercover in an effort to discover who’s been doping his most promising horses, and he quickly gets caught up in the unique lifestyle inherent to the backside. But it is not a life without peril because some men are willing to do anything to get the right horse under the wire first.  
  REVIEWS: 
  "Hidden away from the glittering stage of thoroughbred racing, with its flashing silks and gleaming horseflesh, is a place they call ''the backside.'' In her second stable mystery, DEAD MAN'S TOUCH, Kit Ehrman refers to this behind-the-scenes area -- where trainers, grooms, barn managers and stable hands minister around the clock to the needs of their high-strung charges -- as ''a world unto itself.'' Ehrman, who has worked at show barns and breeding farms, strikes a solid claim to this gritty territory with another heels-up thriller that takes up where Dick Francis left off. In the barn. Steve Cline, the young stable hand who made such a strong and sympathetic hero in ''At Risk,'' searches out the father he never knew, a thoroughbred trainer at a Maryland racetrack, and signs on as a ''hot-walker,'' a lowly exercise worker, when he discovers that someone has been fixing races by tampering with his father's horses. In true Francis tradition, Steve takes plenty of physical punishment as a sleuth. But his undercover role also gives him the inside track on life as it's lived on the backside, a grueling, even squalid existence that pays off in the chance to get close to the magnificent animals that have more character and heart than the two-footed fools who view them as a commodity." --Marilyn Stasio, NY Times --
