To Live and Die at Shadow Ridge

What if you learned your life had been a lie?

A year after his wife’s death, former investigative reporter Derek Price wants closure. But when his homeowners association blocks the sale of his house, his protégé Sonia Torres pushes him to investigate Shadowen Real Estate.

Now, Derek must revisit his past and uncover secrets about his life and home. He’s a middle-aged conservative with an old-school mentality; she’s a college-aged progressive raised with technology.

Together, they’ll unravel a conspiracy with personal and political ramifications that puts Derek in the crosshairs of a vengeful serial killer. Will their efforts be enough to not only survive but to pull the truth from the shadows and into the light?
