This week, I’m giving away twisted books set in the West. Back from the Brink is a Nicole Cobain mystery set in Montana. Dead bodies and bad cops make for a brutal Montana spring and a small-town sheriff’s worst nightmare. In Blue Mesa, Montana, the authorities have been waging war against drug traffickers who use “mules” to carry the dope and cash across the Canadian border. Murder is thrown into the equation when sheriff Nicole Cobain is called to the lake to assist Border Patrol, but finds their boat adrift and a dead man in the ice. When the police drag the lake looking for bodies, they recover a satchel containing money and drugs – a satchel marked with the Border Patrol seal. Then, another murder victim turns up, the brother of a Border Patrol agent who’s been trying to root out the bad agents.
Maybe you prefer thrilling suburbia in Texas. Sarah Warburton’s novel is You Can Never Tell. Framed for embezzlement by her best friend, Kacy Tremain and her husband, MIchael, move from New Jersey to a charming Texas suburb to escape their past. Kacy quickly makes new friends, including Lena, but Kacy should know good friends aren’t always what they seem. It doesn’t take long for Kacy to receive taunting postcards – and worse, discovers cameras hidden in the wall of her home. Lena and her husband, Brady, reassure her the cameras are relics from the paranoid previous homeowner. Months later, Michael accidentally makes a shocking discovery about Brady’s past, and Lena suddenly goes missing. The truth about their neighbors is more terrible than anyone could imagine.
