  In the small Appalachian town of Pine Hollow, the economic decline and simmering tensions between locals and newcomers have left the community on edge. The Caldwell brothers—Mike and Danny—are struggling to make ends meet after their father’s death in a mining accident and the closure of the town’s lifeline, the local coal mine. Desperate to get back at Mike’s ex-wife’s new husband, Mark, and make some quick cash, the brothers hatch a plan to rob his hardware store, dragging their cousin Jimmy Combs along for the ride.But what starts as a simple burglary quickly spirals out of control when Jimmy accidentally shoots himself while trying to break open a locked storage cage. In their panic, Mike and Danny concoct a bizarre plan to cover their tracks: they’ll smear peanut butter on Jimmy’s body to attract animals, hoping it will destroy the evidence. Things go from bad to worse when Danny, who has a peanut allergy, accidentally falls into the peanut-butter-covered corpse, sending the brothers racing to the hospital.As the brothers scramble to keep their crime hidden, Deputy Sara Blake quietly begins connecting the dots. New to Pine Hollow and eager to make a difference, Sara has her own reasons for being in this forgotten town, far from the city life she left behind. Her investigation into the hardware store break-in, coupled with her instincts about the Caldwell brothers’ suspicious behavior, leads her deeper into a web of secrets, guilt, and desperation.As the police close in and the brothers struggle to stay ahead of the law, Sara must unravel the truth about what really happened that night before the fragile calm of Pine Hollow shatters completely. Tensions mount, alliances fray, and the lines between right and wrong blur, culminating in a haunting exploration of guilt, survival, and the consequences of choices made in the heat of the moment.Peanut Elegy is a darkly comedic crime story about small-town life, family loyalty, and the lengths people will go to

  In Too Steep

  It seemed like a simple case: the murder of Lewis Trenton, a beachcomber who lived alone in a cabin in the Oregon hills. But the newspaper article piques the interest of Vivian Wainwright, owner of the British-style Misty Bay Tearoom. The photo accompanying the article shows Lewis’s cluttered living room and on the shelf is a replica of Big Ben. Vivian is sure she sold the clock a week before in her shop. Who could have given the replica to Lewis? Unable to keep from doing a bit of sleuthing, Vivian hunts down the replica in a local thrift shop, noticing that the base is missing, rendering it worthless, but just as she's about to throw it in the trash, a sparkle catches her eye. It’s a diamond, hidden away in a crevice in the clock. Vivian takes the diamond to Detective Tony Messina, who identifies it as part of a jewelry heist in Portland a month earlier. Portland police think Lewis was the fence who sold the jewels and that he was killed after double-crossing the thieves—but Messina doesn’t believe the story. What was the true motive behind Lewis’s murder? How did he come upon the diamond? And what secrets can the clock tell—before the killer strikes again?

  Here begins the thrilling story of a young vigilante, though he’d never call himself such. Marvin simply has certain… needs. Needs which can only be satisfied by watching people suffer. Pedophiles annoy him, so he targets them. Don’t worry, though—Marvin’s not big on blood. He prefers the mental sort of suffering, which in many ways is all the more gruesome. Of course, sometimes things get out of hand, and blood cannot be prevented. 
  A therapist by day and a stalker and intruder by night, Marvin continues with his never-ending quest to induce and spectate emotional turmoil in strangers. It’s a game he’s played for all of his adult life, a game he loves—a game he’s good at. But as time goes on, Marvin begins to take on more victims than he can handle—dangerous victims, the likes of which he’s never encountered—and before long, he’s in way over his head.

  When U.S. Marshal Alexa Chase arrests gang members in a routine drug seizure, she thinks nothing of it—until she realizes there’s far more to the drug-killings than meets the eye.
