SHEILA LOWE - LIES BETWEEN THE LINES, A Claudia Rose Novel (Book 10 of 10)

Handwriting doesn’t lie. But people do.  Forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose takes on two new cases: a forged signature in a troubling auto theft investigation, and a young woman desperate for help after her uncle receives a series of anonymous, threatening notes.

As Claudia examines the handwriting behind each case, troubling undercurrents begin to surface. Details don’t add up. Stories shift. Emotional pressure bleeds through the ink in ways the writers never intended.

Then a sudden tragedy strikes close to home, and Claudia’s work turns darker and far more personal. Someone is hiding behind half-truths and false leads, and the only clues she can trust are the ones written on the page.

And even those carry lies between the lines.

JUDITH AYN - DEAD MERCHANDISE

DEAD MERCHANDISE is the third entry in the Cheater’s Lake, Washington, mystery series. The action spans from San Diego to Seattle with victims and cops battling an expansive criminal network of church members and crooked law enforcement.

In San Diego, Ana Martinez overhears her stepfather’s phone call regarding the deaths of six young Mexican girls and plans for delivery of new merchandise. Believing she could become one of the next sex trafficking targets, Ana flees to Cheater’s Lake to her cousin, Olivia Ortega, for help.

Olivia shares the taped call with her lover, Homicide Detective Mark Walsh. Working undercover with the FBI task force, Walsh and best friend Greg Hogan, a former San Diego PD detective, join forces to track down the next shipment headed for Canada. It’s a race against time when the kidnappers’ van overturns and the brave young girls who survived are on the run in Northern California.

Welcome to the world of Cheater’s Lake!
