Hiss H for Homicide - T. C. Lotempio

nNick and Nora are back in a tantalizing new mystery that's far more dangerous than a game of cat and mouse . . .

Never one to turn away from a challenge-even when it goes against her better judgment-Nora Charles can hardly say no when an old friend of her mother's comes to town seeking her help. The author of steamy romances has learned that her writing partner is severing their relationship and threatening to reveal dark and dirty secrets in a tell-all, and she pleads with Nora to intervene. Reluctantly agreeing to help, Nora pays a visit to the writing partner, ready to make her case-right up until the moment she discovers the woman's lifeless body.

With the police convinced that Nora's friend is the culprit, she and Nick begin delving into the dead woman's past and her provocative tell-all. It soon becomes apparent that the woman had a knack for digging up dirt and wasn't shy about exposing skeletons in closets, and before long Nora has a seemingly endless list of suspects who were at risk of having their darkest secrets revealed. With a police force intent on throwing the book at Nora's friend and time running out, she and Nick must outwit a dangerous killer before they take their own secrets to the grave .
