Deep Creek Widow is Available on Amazon

Nurse Isabel Reyes thought it was a routine welfare check.

Margaret Caldwell — the quiet widow who lived alone near Deep Creek — had missed her clinic appointment. Isabel drives out with medication and concern. She finds Margaret on the kitchen floor, barely conscious, pressing a small brass key into Isabel's hand with three whispered words: The drawer. Lawrence.

Margaret dies two days later without saying anything more.

But what Isabel finds locked in that kitchen drawer — a leather ledger in a dead man's handwriting, and eleven threatening notes spanning twenty-five years — tells a story that someone very patient and very dangerous has spent decades ensuring would never be told.

As Isabel follows the evidence from Running Springs' salon to the mountains of Big Bear and back, she begins to understand that Margaret Caldwell was not simply a frightened widow. She was a woman carrying something far more complicated than grief. And the truth she kept may cost Isabel everything.

The Deep Creek Widow is the second book in the Running Springs Mystery series, featuring nurse Isabel Reyes, Deputy Harris, and the two dogs who know things before anyone else does.
