Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 12, 1978, a woman is assaulted and brutally murdered in her home. It happened in broad daylight, as her husband lunched with friends, and neighbors bustled in and out of their houses. -- Two nearby women have encounters with a strange man and remember him. Neither would have believed that they would be the only living survivors able to identify who was then an unknown serial killer in the midst of his most deadly killing frenzy. The two become part of a police investigation that ends up a cold case. -- It wasn't until 2007, when a detective working another murder ran a new DNA analysis on a piece of evidence, that a computer registers a hit on the killer's identity. This led to a convicted rapist who had no prior murder charges. Thus began the unmasking of a serial killer of nine women, and resolved sixty rapes and robberies. -- The true story of the dark life of Timothy Krajcir, who hunted his victims in parking lots and neighborhoods, ends with his sentencing at a federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on April 4, 2008.

Book excerpt: A Bride’s Deception When Uncle Gabriel dies, Sadie Salinger and her sisters find themselves owning a detective agency. Complete with a case ready to go. Adelaide’s come up with an idea. Masquerading as a madame and a lady of the night. Sadie’s the one who has the gumption to pull off the ruse, so it’s settled. She and Adelaide will go to a mining town to solve the mystery Uncle Gabriel left behind. Larson Donaldson’s not a lawman anymore, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to eat. Of course, he does, so he gets himself a job as private security for a madame and her sportin’ woman. He’s never had a job quite like this one. Then again, he’s never met a woman quite like Sadie Salinger. Things seem fine until an attempt is made on their lives. That’s when he determines he needs to know the truth. He can’t protect the women when he doesn’t know what in creation’s name they're actually doing in this mining town. The Man on The Docks Cody Carson’s twin brother, Abner, has been murdered. Cody’s trust in the local law to solve the crime is not panning out. He feels the need to find an investigator himself. So he turns to Adelaide Salinger and her sisters, who run a private detective agency, the only one in Sacramento, California in 1849 that is run by women. Can he trust them to solve a mystery that is so close to his heart? The case twists and turns. Cody and Adelaide break laws to find answers. Adelaide wasn’t looking for love. She’s been an independent woman all her life. The oldest of her sisters, she’s the one they rely on, and yes, truth be told, she did give up on marriage long ago. Cody brings out feelings in her heart that she thought would never come to life. Now she has a decision to make. Can she let her heart lead her to love? It doesn’t take long for Adelaide and Daniel to discover their feelings are mutual and true. Can they solve the mystery without getting in their own way, distracted by their feelings for each other? Will Daniel find justice for his brother with the help of Adelaide and her sisters? Or will danger bring disaster for him, the sisters, and the detective agency? Love on a Train Although Josie Salinger has been working with her sisters, Adelaide, Sadie, and Belinda at the private investigation agency their uncle left to them, she had never played a major role in any of their cases. She has always preferred to stay out of the spotlight. In 1849, it wasn’t common for women to do such jobs. Her sisters object to that opinion and push her to begin a new journey. Little does Josie know that when she opened the door to Taylor Jameson that crisp fall day, she was about to begin the adventure of a lifetime. Taylor Jameson has been receiving threatening letters. The letters started three months after the murder of his wife, an unsolved case that seemed to be getting nowhere. The lawmen in charge of the case see no correlation between the letters and the murder and therefore will not investigate further into it. The most recent letter was the last straw and Taylor decided it was time to take matters into his own hands. Would consulting an all-female detective agency be the right move? Despite popular opinion of the time, Taylor decides to take a chance on the women. Little do Josie and Taylor know that the case that draws them together is just the beginning of a bright future as the two fall in love, bonding through the danger and fear. Will the murderers catch up to them before they have a chance to express how they feel? Or will they triumph and love each other till the very end? Bride in Disguise Belinda Salinger was the last sister of four to find love. She wasn’t really looking and had a mind it would happen when it was supposed to. On the day her sisters all leave with their beaus, she realizes how lonely she will really be. Is she destined to spend the rest of her life running the private investigating agency the sisters’ uncle left to them? Lionel Calverson, the son of the mayor of Josephson County, very near Sacramento, arrives that very day unexpectedly. He is in need of help and heard the Wagon Wheel Justice Agency was run by professionals – even though they were all women. In 1850, that wasn’t commonly accepted. Lionel enlists Bonnie’s help to solve a mystery of cattle rustling and sabotage that surrounded his best friend, Dwight Barnes. Together, they work through the clues to find out who is responsible for the crimes and clear Dwight’s good name. Despite complications and obstacles, the two diligently work together and realize at the end of their adventure that they were destined to be together.
