Synopsis

She picked up the wrong file, and now everything is falling apart.

 
-“Absolutely chilling.” Rebmay
 
-“This is a story I personally don’t want to believe is possible, but in today’s world it is, unfortunately, too believable, and horrifying.” Catlou

 
From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island in the Pacific Northwest. When social worker Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, she discovers a shocking, twisted mystery plotted by a high-ranking social worker in the DCFS.
 

 
When Billy Jo McCabe accidentally picks up the wrong file, before she realizes her mistake, she discovers a secret no one was supposed to find.
 
She takes the file to the newly appointed chief of police, Mark Friessen, but he doesn’t believe her—that is, until they discover dozens more files and missing money from vulnerable at-risk children who have aged out of the system and are living on the streets.
 
As she digs into the files, the system, and the people involved, everything falls apart.
 
And what Mark and Billy Jo discover is a secret far more shocking than missing money.

    Josiah and Shaneika visit dam Jean Harlow early one morning and are shocked to find the prized foal is missing. They frantically search Lady Elsmere’s and Josiah’s farms without success. It’s urgent they find the foal fast as he is not yet weaned and is too young to be separated from his mother. 
    Who would snatch the feisty foal from his mother’s care? And equally important—why?

    "She talks so much, she should have two sets of teeth." 
     
     
     
    I haven't seen Stanley Shelton since the flamingo keychain with the campervan key dangled from his fingertips as he ripped the Maserati keys out of my grip after my ex-now-dead husband left me broke and penniless, until now. 
     
     
     
    Stanley claims the Diamond Swamp Mob is after him and he needs my help. Something about my past, but I didn't take him too seriously until someone was murdered in Stanley's rented room at the Milkery. The person just so happened to have a tattoo I've seen before. 
     
     
     
    One problem, the tattoo is a brand from a mob in New York City. 
     
     
     
    Sheriff Hank Sharp has hauled Stanley down to the Normal sheriff's department for the murder, leaving it up to me and the Laundry Club Ladies to clear Stanley's name. Looks like I'm driving my campervan back to New York City and make it a girls trip. 
     
     
     
    I sure hope I can get to the mob boss before he sends anyone else to Happy Trails Campground to finish the job and get revenge on who actually killed the mobster. 
     
     
     
    Welcome to Normal, Kentucky, where nothing is normal!

    "Murder, con games, and assassination in 1901 Washington state with the President's life on the line. Ms. Meredith writes another taut and tightly plotted thriller in the Spokane Clock Tower series, one not to be missed!" — New York Times bestselling author William H Keith 
      
    In this sequel to Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker, we're once again transported to Spokane, 1901. A body discovered in Hangman Creek looks to be the result of an accidental fall, but what begins as a "simple" mystery for Thomas Carew and his twin brother Bernard quickly becomes a lot more complicated, including implications that tie in with the bombings at the Idaho mines, and perhaps even President McKinley's planned visit. 
      
    It's been one month since the events of the first book, and readers will enjoy engaging once again with the full cast of quirky characters, from Archie and Marian to Thomas and Bernard, with a couple new faces thrown in. Those familiar with Spokane will love the entangled web that takes them from Hangman Creek to the Campbell House and the Montvale, ensuring that this story couldn't be set anywhere but Spokane, Washington. 
      
    Cupboards All Bared is Book 2 in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries.
