    About this ebook

    Praise for USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton and the Charlie Parker mysteries:

    “Fans of Southwestern mysteries will find that Shelton's engaging story, likable heroine, and comfortable prose make this a good choice.” – Library Journal

    "Charlie is slick, appealing and nobody's fool." -- Booklist

    Charlie is invited to a plush Santa Fe spa, a week-long spiritual/nutrition retreat with her friend Dr. Linda Casper. The massages and spa treatments sound great, until she realizes that there is something darker going on at the mountain resort.

    Meanwhile, Drake has his own set of concerns. He's been asked to testify as an expert witness in a helicopter crash case and it's causing him more anxiety than any feat of flying ever did.

    It seems that they are each on their own but their two cases overlap and dangers abound, from all sides.

    "Charlie is just what readers want." -- Booklist

    "Charlie is a fabulous amateur sleuth." -- Midwest Book Review

    "Readers can only hope the likeable characters, fast-paced plots and local color will continue." -- Albuquerque Journal

    "A fun and fast read." -- Small Press Magazine

    Connie Shelton

    Connie Shelton has been writing for more than twenty years and has taught writing (both fiction and nonfiction) since 2001. She is the author of the Charlie Parker mystery series and has been a contributor to several anthologies, including Chicken Soup For the Writer's Soul. "My husband and I love to do adventures. He flew helicopters for 35 years, a career that I've borrowed from in my Charlie Parker mysteries. We have traveled quite a lot and now divide our time between the American Southwest and a place on the Sea of Cortez. For relaxation I love art -- painting and drawing can completely consume me. I also really enjoy cooking, with whatever ingredients I find in whatever country we are in at the moment. We walk every day and love watching and photographing wildlife."
