Book 2
A scream pierces the darkness.... Samantha Cain isn't the type of woman who gets unnerved easily. After all, she's the widow of a policeman and a single mom. Now she works the midnight shift, all alone, at a large trucking terminal close to the Mississippi River. One night she hears a strange rustling outside, then a strangled cry. Racing out of her office, she witnesses a terrifying scene at the nearby levee and interrupts a killer at work. Now the killer is after her. Whom can she trust? Certainly not the police, who didn't protect her before.... Detective Matthew Jefferies has been on the trail of a twisted serial killer who preys on older women, leaving no evidence behind. But this time he has a witness-the wife of his dead ex-partner, Martin Cain-if he can keep her alive. A suspenseful page-turner, with a twist of romance.
Book 3
What more could possibly go wrong? Samantha Cain already has enough to deal with-including the death of her husband three years ago and raising her young son by himself. Then, six months ago, Matthew, her fiance and a police officer, was killed in the line of duty. Now two plain-clothes officers are on her doorstep. Her boss, Ken Richardson, was murdered, and Sam was the only other person in the office last night. All the evidence for the crime points right at Sam, including the fact the two were known for not getting along. Detective Mark Barnett feels it in his gut that the shock on Samantha Cain's face is genuine-that she didn't have any part in killing her boss. But convincing his lieutenant-and proving her innocence-is another matter entirely. A suspenseful page-turner, with a twist of romance. The second installment in the exciting Samantha Cain Mysteries by beloved author Deborah Lynne.
