About this ebook
Thirty-five years ago, seventeen-year-old Rita Carson was murdered, her eighteen-year-old boyfriend Travis Rodgers gone missing until… Mo digs up his grave.
Pepper’s dad, Sheriff Madison, was just a rookie back then, and he’s never stopped feeling guilty about the case going cold. Now he’s got a second chance to crack it. But with Travis long gone, one big question remains, who killed Rita—and possibly Travis too—and could they still be around?
Pepper and Ian are determined to solve the decades-old mystery, but the case isn’t their only problem. The mayor keeps sticking his nose in, desperate to prove his father, former Sheriff Ted Barrett, was right about the original suspect and snag credit for solving the crime.
If that’s not enough, Amy’s estranged dad suddenly resurfaces, claiming he wants to make up for walking out when she was six. Pepper doesn’t buy it, and neither does Beau, Amy’s boyfriend. Both are ready to protect Amy at all costs.
With a suspect list a mile long and a mystery full of twists, Pepper and Ian start narrowing it down—but the deeper they dig, the wilder things get. And when danger comes knocking, you’ll never guess who comes to the rescue… did someone say Vikings?
Join Pepper, Ian, their friends, and family in the fun when Vikings, pillaging, murder, and mayhem descend on Willow Lake, PA!

About the author
It was her love of reading and daydreaming that started USA Today bestselling author Donna Fletcher’s writing career. Besides gobbling up books, her mom generously bought for her, she spent a good portion of her time lost in daydreams that took her on grand adventures. She met heroes and villains, and heroines that, while usually in danger, always found the strength and courage to prevail. She traveled all over the world and through time in her dreams. Some places and times fascinated her more than others and she would rush to the library (no Internet at that time) and read all she could about that particular period and place. After a while, she simply could not ignore all the adventures swirling around in her head, she had no choice but to bring them more vividly to life, and so she started writing.
Donna continues to daydream, characters popping in and out of her head wherever she goes and filling her with tales that keep her writing schedule on overload. You can learn more about her on her website. www.donnafletcher.com
Donna enjoys living on the beautiful Jersey shore surrounded by family and friends and Sweetie a cat that adopted her and her strong and handsome German shepherd, Cree, named after one of her heroes.
