Justified Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book 9

A dangerous storm, a wounded stranger, and a ghost from the past. Just another Thursday in Whispering Pines.

A monster of a blizzard is on the way, but the hardy folks of Whispering Pines aren't bothered by the weather. Not when there are supplies to gather and neighbors to catch up with.

As everyone finally settles in to ride out the storm, Sheriff Jayne O'Shea gets a phone call. A stranger has stumbled into the village. She's covered in bruises and mumbling about a car crash. Determined to figure out what happened to her, and to rescue any other potential victims still out there, Jayne braves the howling winds and arctic temperatures. Then another call comes in. An elderly villager is missing in the storm.

Jayne can handle this. She can handle pretty much anything. But when a ghost from her past shows up at the bed-and-breakfast and tries to uncover Jayne's long-buried secrets, she may have reached her breaking point.
