    When American expat and bicycle tour company proprietress Sadie Greene guides a hard-to-impress group of sophisticated seniors on a stunning trip in northeastern France, she expects some twists, turns, and sudden stops to sip the Riesling. She doesn’t anticipate a detour leading straight to murder … 
      
    Sadie Greene and her Oui Cycle crew vow to wow her most discerning private group yet with a trip they will never forget. It won’t be easy. The Silver Spinners, six globetrotting seniors, arrive with thrilling tales of two-wheeling adventures. Sadie worries she’ll fail to impress such worldly travelers, even with the backdrop of Alsace, a dreamy region of rolling vineyards, delicious cuisine, and fairytale architecture. Sadie is dead wrong. Her group is stunned, but not for the right reasons … 
      
    Trouble starts when a guest crashes into a corpse on a solo midnight ride. Or so she says. But when body isn’t found, Sadie hopes it was all a bad dream. She aims to reset the mood with a fun, sunny day pedaling through the vineyards. However, an impromptu detour ends in a crash, and a shattered wine barrel isn’t the only victim. A dead man spills out. Sadie still thinks they can ride away unscathed. After all, who would they know so far from home? Murder once again throws a wrench into Sadie’s gears. The corpse has shocking links to her tour. 
      
    The Silver Spinners are key witnesses, prime suspects, and dangerously eager to play amateur detectives. Sadie finds herself tangled in the chaos. With her guests’ lives and Oui Cycle’s reputation on the line, Sadie is determined to trail the culprit. But can she stay on course long enough to reach the truth, or is she heading for a fatal collision with a cunning killer?

    Douglas River is a nightclub owner in Morgantown, West Virginia. River is also a vampire who, after nearly two centuries of bloodsucking, suddenly discovers he's becoming human again--he's starting to see himself in the mirror, blood makes him sick, daylight doesn't bother him, and other worse things are starting to happen. 
    Normally, this might not present too much of a problem. But in River's case, he needs to find a cure…fast. He's one of the vampire elite, and after his secret leaks out, other vampires want to kill him so they can usurp his position. 
    River also has the problem of a team of vampire hunters who've been after him for ages, trying to kill him, too. 
    The unsympathetic and bloodthirsty River is the sort of fellow who loves being godlike and hates the concept of becoming human. He's desperately looking for his cure and will stop at nothing to end his Vampire’s Nightmare.

    Dr. Sophie Armstrong just got her first big win after a year of setbacks. An ecologist at Riverbend’s Indiana Polytechnic, she lands a partnership with Wilderness Watch, a leader in remote surveillance, to commercialize remote wildlife cameras. Everything is on the line—her career, her department’s financial future, and her reputation. This is Sophie’s last chance to prove she isn’t anything like her wildlife-smuggling, law-breaking family members who were very publicly arrested in Riverbend. 
    Special Agent Blake Evans and his K-9 partner, Ranger, are ready to settle down. They’ve spent the past several years investigating arson to prevent wildfires, and life on the road isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When a job offer comes from Riverbend K-9 Academy, Blake jumps at the opportunity to train other agents and finally put down some roots in the small Indiana town. 
    When Sophie finds a gun repair kit as she’s setting cameras in the woods, she doesn’t think much of it…until she gets back to Riverbend and her cameras malfunction. Amidst injuries, fires, and unexplained data deletions, she’s in over her head. As much as she would rather avoid the FBI, she soon realizes that Blake and his playful Labrador retriever are exactly what she needs. With no time to spare, Sophie, Blake, and Ranger must team up to protect the people and wilderness they love. 
    Burying the Evidence is Book 5 in the Riverbend K-9 Series. All books in the Riverbend K-9 Series may be enjoyed as standalone novels or as a series.
