Maximum Pressure - Paperback

by Sheila Lowe (Author), Scott Montgomery (Illustrator)

Old friendships turn deadly and the past comes back to haunt Claudia Rose in unexpected ways.

Handwriting expert Claudia Rose had no intention of revisiting her past when she accepted an invitation to her 25-year high school reunion. But when she stumbles upon the lifeless body of someone she knew, the event takes a chilling turn. Was it a tragic accident or something far more sinister?

With the help of her homicide detective husband, Claudia delves into the investigation and finds herself drawn into a web of secrets and lies that have been buried for decades. Haunted by the memory of a classmate who vanished without a trace years ago, she joins forces with an old flame who is producing a documentary on the mysterious disappearance. Together, they uncover shocking revelations about the classmates they thought they knew.

As she gets closer to the truth, Claudia discovers that two crimes are intimately connected-and that someone is willing to do anything to keep their secrets buried. With time running out, she is in a race against the clock.
