  An unscrupulous realtor pays the ultimate closing costs in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran! 
   
   
   
  Autumn is settling in on Cranberry Cove, but things are starting to heat up when Monica's stepmother shows up at her back door gripped by panic. Gasping out an explanation, she tells Monica she'd been dozing in her realtor's car when he was shot dead. Refusing to alert the police for fear that the killer will target her next—or that the police will consider her their prime suspect—Monica's stepmother goes mute, and Monica decides to track down the culprit herself to clear her name and keep her safe. 
   
   
   
  Finding the killer won't be so easy, though, as the victim had run afoul of buyers, sellers, and even other realtors at one time or another, and it seems that nearly everyone in the small town had a reason to want him dead. Even more puzzling is that the deeper Monica digs into the background and final days of the victim, the more the clues point to her stepmother. Then a second body is found, and Monica realizes she's going up against a devious killer who will stop at nothing to put everyone involved out of commission . . .

  Daniel Carstairs glanced toward the generous window, noting Miami’s stormy skies. “A storm is brewing.” he commented as he returned his attention to his junior partner. “And I’m not talking about the weather…” 
  A snort. “She’s expendable — if things aren’t as we desire, then we simply make other arrangements. It’s really a rather basic solution…” 
  Carstairs stood, his intention clear as he headed for Beckham’s office door. “Should we find it’s not as simple as you pronounce, there will be consequences. If you’re not familiar with them, it will behoove you to become enlightened.” His hand on the door knob, he turned, his eyes signaling the message he meant to deliver. “This better work, Marcus…”
