Something Deadly on Desert Drive

Starting over at fifty might be hard, but it shouldn't be deadly…


Still recovering from an injury that might have permanently derailed her career as an international war correspondent, Kate Tessler is living in her childhood bedroom and pondering her second act when another case lands in her lap. Kate's father and his coffee group are worried. Their friend Larry married a younger woman who now insists he has dementia and won't let any of his friends visit. They're convinced that Larry's wife and her two adult, dead-beat kids are out to steal his money. Can Kate help?


Soon Kate and her unusual gang of sidekicks are unofficially, officially investigating. But before they can dig out the truth, a murder raises the stakes. Now they need to prove Larry is both mentally competent and not a killer. They'll have to find the real murderer—without risking their own lives in the process.
