   Pull a trigger and everything changes.  Whatever is good and normal dissolves before your eyes.  Medical student Laura Nelson had just finished examining her first patient – bullet wound to the head.  As she leaves the hospital, an angry voice erupts with obscenities.  Shaken and confused, she quickly walks the deserted two blocks to her car, keeping an eye on the dark, riot-torn neighborhood around her – eager to get home to her husband and young sons.  Suddenly, a rough hand drags her into a violent double crime.  A trigger is pulled, and Laura’s world changes forever.

   Set amidst the upheaval and smoldering chaos of the Detroit riots of 1967, this story unfolds in a real place at a real time.  These riots created a terrible fissure in the social fabric of that city engulfing ordinary people and spinning the normal patterns of life into a downward spiral.  “Shadow of Death” is a store that could happen to any of us, especially those who believe their world and all they cherish will hold together no matter what.

New Mystery Reader

 "Part medical thriller, part woman’s fiction…Deeply
disturbing, realistically harsh, Shadow of Death is a taut suspense thriller." -
