About Dangerous Shadows
Shaken from an assault in the library parking lot at Hilltop College in Western North Carolina, crime reporter Emily Hanover contacts her ex-fiancé, private investigator Nick Lancaster. When the college hires Nick to recover quartz and ancient maps stolen from the library, Nick insists there’s a connection between the theft and Emily’s attack. As Nick and Emily face danger from an elusive stalker, their romance rekindles. Nick’s sidekick, Hucklesford, spots two suspects, so he and Nick go undercover. While Nick’s surveillance points to illegal gambling and murder, Hucklesford’s investigation leads him to the college cross-country team. Can Nick and Hucklesford, along with Emily, connect the stalker, theft, college student, and gambler’s murder to solve this baffling mystery? Will Nick and Emily find true love?
Quotes from Dangerous Shadows:
From Nick to Emily: “You should marry a private investigator. Then you wouldn’t need to worry about footsteps behind you.”
The following was overheard from an unidentified man at a kick-off party for the Hilltop College basketball team: “Nobody mentioned anything about killing anybody. I’m supposed to find the right mine. That’s it.”
A truism from Nick: “Attraction was spontaneous, but love was complicated.”
Meet Nick and Emily. Will they find true love amid danger?
A Brief Excerpt
From Chapter One
Emily Hanover walked to her sporty car in the parking lot at Hilltop College. Trees with bare limbs and evergreens in the forest beside the school spoke of winter still hanging on.
Heel clicks resounded behind her.
She peeked over her shoulder—no one, just a view of the large brick library.
Footsteps snapped in sync with hers.
She picked up her pace.
Silence fell.
She glanced back.
A shadow.
Checking her watch, she breathed easier. Was it the shadow of the bear? Even though she’d never seen it, she’d heard a bear’s shadow appeared in the North Carolina Mountains between five-thirty and six-fifteen in the afternoon in February and March.
The shadow of the bear didn’t follow people, but seemed to spring forward going from one hill to another. Silly her. Shadows didn’t make noise.
A man ducked behind an evergreen.
She pressed her key fob, her heart pounding as she charged toward her car. Panting, she scooted in the driver’s seat. Her finger shook as she punched the starter button. She mashed the pedal to the floor, and the engine roared. Letting up on the gas, she drove the speed limit while checking the rearview mirror. Cars, trucks, and SUVs followed her.
