Killing Spring - Paperback

Claudia Alexander came to the charming town of Portia for a peaceful wedding-planning retreat. She found a town held hostage by a secret.

Her quiet getaway is shattered when Harvey Kaluza, a cantankerous war veteran, vanishes after a cryptic conversation with her in a coffee shop. Suddenly, Claudia, the outsider, is the last person to have seen him. When a ransom note appears, followed by the discovery of a skeleton in a dusty basement, she can no longer stay on the sidelines.

Drawn into a web of long-buried sins, Claudia must team up with a quirky group of locals to unravel a mystery that mirrors the scars of her own past. To find the truth, she'll have to put her budding faith-and her own life-on the line, discovering that in a small town, the most dangerous secrets are the ones everyone knows.
