“Boss, we have a problem…”

It’s never good when a party gets interrupted by those five words.

Olivia Wainwright, Big Town’s District Detective, has a target on her back. Not from her own doing, but simply because of something Alan did before she even worked at Wainwright Detective Agency. Not used to being followed everywhere, Olli has to try to adjust to her constant body guards while she tries to track down a heavily insulted professional kidnapper.

Dallas Stowe, Olli’s new partner, fresh off their first case together, has to figure out how to navigate Olli’s reactions to what’s happening. Playing catch up, trying to smooth feathers and make Olli feel less smothered is already a full time job.

It was already difficult to track a high-dollar kidnapper with a vendetta—and a head start—but when worst fears are confirmed and Olli disappears off the street, Dallas’ job gets a whole lot harder.

A taunting phone call, daffodils everywhere, bias cut dresses and locked rooms.
A shadow watching every move.
An old enemy bent on revenge, no matter the cost.
A revival of a long-past partnership.
When a reservation can’t be missed, enemies become unlikely friends.

Eden Ridge is the perfect place to restore a grieving soul. Alan Wright retires to the idyllic town nestled in mountain pines to build his spiritual center and heal after the shocking death of his wife left him inconsolable for two years. Just as he begins drawing a congregation and mending his heart, the murder of his best friend and favorite follower threatens to break his spirit again.

Ruth MacKenzie was to gift Alan with a rare and valuable antique that now is missing along with her bright, fierce presence. Convinced that her generosity – and his outsider status – got her killed, he decides he must risk everything to set things right. Helped by Ruth’s friends – known as The Little Red Hens – he faces ridicule, arrest, and his own demons to hunt for her killer.

More than a murder mystery, Where You Will Die peers into the human heart, where even the admirable trait of loyalty can beget heroism or villainy. Alan Wright seeks to understand the human dilemma – whether to follow our light or dark natures – and how we all believe we act with the best intentions.
