Intrepid Tribune reporter Eve Wade finds herself in a killer's sights when she is tasked with searching for a missing mother and daughter. Amanda and Lisa Dean disappeared after absconding with money from a fundraiser co-chaired by the newspaper's publisher. Not thrilled with the prospect of being used as a collection agent or the pawn in a nasty divorce, Eve is still the envy of her colleagues when the search takes her to the sunny Caribbean island of Bonaire during a harsh Cleveland winter. The small island lies off the coast of Venezuela and is touted as a diver's paradise, and Eve can't wait to try her newly acquired scuba skills only to face the first attempt on her life. Not one to back off no matter the risk, she finds herself in the middle of a dangerous investigation with international implications. Someone else is looking for the Deans, and they are willing to kill to find them before anyone else does. To get to the truth, Eve follows a trail of betrayal, deception, and murder that eventually leads back to Cleveland and a truly shocking conclusion. Some of the characters from Henderson's previous Eve Wade mysteries make appearances in this third book in the series. The author draws on her own extensive experience and expertise as an award-winning investigative reporter to craft another complex and exciting tale.

Sgt. Ben Freeman never dreamed he would serve his country fighting a battle in Iraq, and is mortally homesick. A deadly sniper attack abruptly alters Ben's existence, and somehow his spirit returns back to the place he loved the most, his cabin at Crossover Creek in the mountains of Virginia, scene of a famous Indian legend. When a successful writer named Abby, herself battling a fatal illness, moves into Ben's cabin, reality takes a distinct turn for both of them. From both sides of life's veil, and out of disparate states, the two begin a relationship like none before as they fall in love. But can they ever be together? Interwoven with the local native legend about two star crossed lovers, the two stories run parallel revealing a spectrum of possibility, desire and fulfillment. An enchanting ghost story with a twist.

Investigative reporter Eve Wade gets the scoop of a lifetime in the middle of her tropical Caribbean cruise. However, to tell her story, she'll first have to survive the trip. Eve certainly wasn't planning on becoming a part of a murder mystery when she signed up to write a short travel article about the benefits of a peaceful vacation. That peace goes out the window the second she stumbles upon not one but two dead bodies in her cabin. Who would have wanted to kill Flo and Tony Mason, and why wait until the middle of a cruise crowded with passengers and potential witnesses? As Eve delves deeper into the mystery, things start making less and less sense. The Masons' deaths are connected to something much bigger and are just the beginning of what's to come. To find the culprit, Eve will call upon her own investigative skills. Any passenger or crewman on the cruise is a suspect, and several of them are hiding secrets of their own. Miles from the closest police station, Eve will have to get creative to catch this killer!
