Mad for Mel

Rival gangs will stop at nothing to gain sole control of the drug trade in Muskingum County and they've picked Valentine's week to create a firestorm of murder and mayhem as they battle each other for supremacy. Sheriff Mel Crane is blindsided by looting, murdering and marauding bikers at a time of year when most Harley's are tucked safely away from the effects of Ohio winters that come rife with snow and ice. They're rolling out, they're out of control and she can't stop them. On the home front, she's feeling guilty about spending so much time working and hardly any time with Dana, especially when she knows Valentine's Day is right around the corner…or so her mother-in-law keeps reminding her. Dana just wants Mel to be safe; she has her own problems to worry about. Her attempt at novel writing isn't going as well as she hoped and she's bored. She got a little taste of what it was like to be an investigator again and she misses it. What to do? This book is great together with Books 1-6 to get all the Dana and Mel back story but it can also be read as a stand-alone mystery.
