When the body of a murdered man literally falls at
Elizabeth Stuart's feet, she's able to wash away the blood-
-but not the terror. Unwelcome newcomers to Still Creek,
Minnesota, she and her troubled teenage son are treated
with suspicion by the locals, including the sheriff. Yet
nothing will stop her from digging beneath the town's
placid surface for the truth--except the killer.
Running from a messy divorce, Elizabeth believed buying a
small-town newspaper offered a fresh start for herself and
her son. But idyllic Still Creek, nestled in the heart of
lush Amish farmlands, hides secrets dangerous enough to
push someone to commit murder. Now Elizabeth must risk
everything to save herself and her son, and to unmask the
killer...before the current of evil flowing through Still
Creek drags her under.
When Elizabeth Stuart searched for a quiet, peaceful home
for herself and her son, Still Creek seemed perfect.
Nestled in the heart of lush Amish farmlands, this small,
idyllic Minnesota town would allow her to put a shattering
divorce behind her. But the locals were noticeably cool to
the newcomer--who was rumored to be a gold-digger--
especially when she started stirring up controversy with
her newspaper. And now when a murdered body literally
falls at her feet, she has a slight credibility
problem...particularly with the arrogant sheriff whose
blue eyes seem to know her darkest secrets.
An ex-pro athlete who had returned to Still Creek a hero,
Sheriff Dane Jantzen doesn't have much use for the media--
especially not in the form of this glamorous, gutsy
outsider who spells trouble with every word she prints. So
when she becomes his suspect in a vicious crime, the last
thing Dane expects is the jolt of attraction at their
every encounter.
Elizabeth would soon challenge Dane's every assumption,
including the one that he's better off without love. But
as they risk everything to uncover the truth, the current
of evil that contaminates Still Creek threatens to pull
them both under...
