Book Description
Crime reporter Samantha Adams investigates the murder of a ladies’ man in this “terrific” mystery with a “witty, sexy and smart” Southern sleuth (Nancy Pickard, award-winning author of the Jenny Cain series). Samantha Adams is none too pleased to learn that her elderly friend Felicity Morris, a fading flower of Atlanta’s elite, has been receiving the attentions of Randolph Percy. A silver-tongued charmer with manners to burn, Randolph is known for the games he plays on wealthy Southern women of a certain age. But shortly after Samantha puts an end to Randolph’s scheme, someone puts an end to his life—and Sam intends to find out why. With spurned lovers strewn across the Deep South, there is no shortage of potential suspects. But the trail leads Sam toward something far more sinister than simple revenge, and finding the truth will require unearthing a fifty-year-old scandal that some would kill to keep buried.

Book Description
In her witty, southern-fried suspense novels, Sarah Shankman delivers nonstop action with a hilarious bite. Now she sends her acclaimed, irreverent heroine -- New Orleans writer Samantha Adams -- to a southwestern New Age hot spot, to unearth a secret past that was supposed to be six feet under. My dearest Sugar. I must see you. It's urgent. I need your help. The letter that arrived from Sam's mother was postmarked Santa Fe, penned in her mother's handwriting, and disclosed details only Johanna Adams could know. There was just one catch: Johanna Adams had been dead for thirty-four years. The mind-blowing missive could have been an entry from Sam's latest book of bizarre anecdotes, American Weird -- or an elaborate hoax. Either way, it instantly rekindled Sam's impossible wish that her mother hadn't really died in a plane crash when Sam was a child. Fueled by her journalistic instincts -- and a daughter's need for closure -- Sam touches down among Santa Fe's tourists and crystal gazers, jewelry shops and fast-food stands. But only when she summons the courage to knock on the door of Room 409 at the La Fonda Hotel does her surreal, mother-seeking adventure take off with no turning back.

Sometimes the secrets we keep are more dangerous than the ones we reveal... To all my old friends: So here you all are. Nice to see you can show up for a person once he's dead. When Ruby St. James returns to her hometown, it is to the grave of her old friend Danny, a member of a group that was, ten years ago, Ruby's whole world. The crew made a pact back then: stay together, stay loyal, and stay honest. But that was before all of the lies. Because even friends keep secrets. They just don't stay secret for long. Now Danny has left behind a letter for each of them, issuing one final ultimatum: share your darkest betrayal to the group, or risk it coming out in a trap he has created. When past mistakes resurface, the lines of friendship blurb, and four old friends are left trying to understand what it means to lie to the ones you love best.
