Tribute

Virginia's Shenandoah Valley is a long way from Hollywood and that's exactly how Cilla McGowan likes it.

Cilla, a former child star, has found a more satisfying life working with her hands to restore homes. She has come back to her grandmother's farmhouse, to rescue it from ruin. Sadly, no one had been able to save her grandmother, the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with a golden voice and a tumultuous past. She died of an overdose in the farmhouse 30 years ago.

Plunging into the house with gusto, Cilla is almost too busy to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer- but his lanky form, green eyes and easy, unflappable humor (not to mention his delightfully ugly dog, Spock) are hard to ignore.

In the cluttered attic of the house, Cilla finds a cache of unsigned letters, suggesting that Janet hardy was pregnant when she died- and that the father was a local married man. The mystery deepens with a series of cruel and intimidating acts and a frightening violent assault. If Cilla and Ford can't find out who is targeting her and why, she may be cut down in the prime of her life as was her grandmother.

this was a great book. Couldn't put it down!
