Savannah Stone is a big fan of numbers. As a math whiz,
she uses her love of arithmetic to make her living creating
puzzles that are syndicated daily in many newspapers
throughout the United States. When her husband Zach, a
former police chief from Charlotte, North
Carolina, was forced to retire after being shot in the line
of duty, the Stones retired to a small mini-farm in
Parson's Valley in the beautiful foothills of the Blue
Ridge Mountains. But retirement is not to be a peaceful
project for Zach. He dabbles in his beloved police work by
consulting for several police departments both in North
Carolina and across the country.
When a call comes in from the new chief in Charlotte asking
for his help in capturing a killer, Zach jumps at the chance
to return to his old stomping ground. Savannah, however, is
not so keen, but goes along with her husband for moral
support and to keep an eye on his health. Little does
Savannah know that she will be enlisted to help solve one of
the most difficult puzzles of her life. If she doesn't solve
the puzzle in time, the life she fails to save might be
someone close to her heart.

of mysteries that make you stop and think will find A
DEADLY ROW the start of a brilliant series.
