Deadly Means

One after another the extravagant homes of Hamby are being robbed…until the unthinkable happens.

Three home invasions in a wealthy golf community have Hamby on edge. At first, only cash is taken. But with each break-in the crimes escalate. Jewelry is stolen. Victims are beaten. Then events take a deadly turn when the fourth attack leaves a young woman dead.

Shocked by the murder and desperate to stop an increasingly brazen criminal, Detective Rachel Ryder and her partner Rob Bishop are quick to take on the case.

But they soon discover that all is not glitz and glamor in this high society neighborhood. Behind mansion doors are scandals that the ritzy community is determined to hide. After all, the rich and powerful don’t want the skeletons in their closets exposed to the world, let alone to Detective Rachel Ryder. And they will stop at nothing to make sure their secrets stay locked behind their lavish gates.

Strap in for the next exhilarating crime thriller in USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson’s Rachel Ryder series.
