Really, Truly Dead

An amateur sleuth and her dog return home to a town of secrets ... and an ugly murder

In this novella, science writer Lindsey McKay takes a leave of absence from her job and returns home with her dog to save the family newspaper. She left Danville ten years ago and she trusts she can wrap this up quickly. She promises her Atlanta boss she'll return in two-weeks.

Sheriff Ike Harper is thrilled at Lindsey's homecoming. She's the gal who got away, and now he has a second chance at the woman he's always admired.

Lindsey encourages her father to fight for the paper's survival, but he won't cooperate. Meanwhile, the murder of a local judge is a boon for the newspaper, but it's too late. With her leave running out, neither the tragedy nor Lindsey's hard work can save the failing business. Then the sheriff arrests her father for the murder, and she faces a new challenge.

Determined to clear her father's name, Lindsey stirs up a hornet's nest of trouble. Will saving her father's life cost Lindsey hers?
