Splendid Isolation: A Mystery Suspense Novel - Paperback

When Andy Stevenson is found dead in his car on a lonely county road from an apparent drug overdose, his wife Melissa is immediately suspicious of the circumstances.

Melissa's questions are met with veiled hostility from the sheriff's office, the coroner, and most surprisingly, the Sacramento law firm where Andy had been a rising star. Desperate to get to the truth, she hires Tom Haydon, a genial, graying private investigator who soon proves to be a determined ally.

But Haydon's investigation is only getting underway when a shocking revelation impels Melissa to flee to the New England of her youth and a summer rental on a tiny island off the Maine coast. Craving solitude in which to heal, she quickly discovers she can't outrun the dark forces responsible for Andy's death--a realization that leads to an even uglier truth: that solitude and isolation are not the same thing at all.

A propulsive romantic thriller, SPLENDID ISOLATION builds to a shocking conclusion.
