A standalone novel with character and location links to all the Calendar Murder Mysteries!
A year ago, Meredith Blake was running scared, her life in tatters and her money rapidly hemorrhaging. When she discovers the quaint mountain town of Calendar, she finds everything she needs: freedom, anonymity, and a second chance to build a new life. Here, she can start over by opening a fashion boutique far away from the nightmare her life once was, and begin to heal. That is, until Brad Van den Berg, the man who spooked her into fleeing in the first place, appears on her doorstep with a knife imbedded in his chest.
How did Brad track her down? Especially when she was so careful not to leave any traces for him to follow? And who stabbed him? More importantly, why does the killer seem intent on framing Meredith for Brad’s murder? Sure, she has plenty of motivation but she’s no killer, and she can only wonder how anyone discovered their connection. Local Police Detective, Sam Logan seems convinced of her innocence, but Meredith knows she has to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, lest the life she so carefully created swiftly comes tumbling down.
Calendar is a pretty tourist town, where strangers are plentiful, but Meredith has to decide on whom she can rely as a friend and who is actually her foe.
