No one warned her hot flashes could lead to death…
Forced to leave her celebrated career as an international war correspondent after an injury, Kate Tessler now dabbles in detective work in her Arizona hometown along with her sister, Jen. When Jen's old college friend asks them to investigate suspicious activity at a motel he inherited, it sounds like a free vacation with a little surveillance thrown in.
But when Kate's hot flashes wake her in the middle of the night, she wanders outside to cool off and stumbles into a crime scene.
Kate and Jen can’t trust anyone
at the motel or the local police force they suspect of corruption. The lies
pile up, the villains multiply, and the motel is hiding more secrets than they
ever imagined. Good thing they have their eclectic senior sidekicks to share
the undercover work.

Quick Peek:
Something rustled in the bushes. I
heard footsteps—or was that the pounding of my heart? I turned and ran for my
room, my shoes smacking the pavement. Silence wouldn’t save me. If someone was
watching from the shadows, they already knew I was there. In any case, I
couldn’t stop myself from running as fast as my legs would let me, begging the
stiff muscles in my bad leg to keep up and not send me sprawling.
My key card. Where was it? My hands
were empty. I leaned my cane next to the door so I could pat my hips with the
hand that wasn’t damp and sticky. My sleep shorts didn’t have pockets. Had I
dropped it? I didn’t want to go back there. I didn’t want anyone else to find
the key, either. A shudder racked my body at the thought.
I swung around and scanned the
area. Spots danced before my eyes. I sucked in a breath. A second breath. The
spots faded.
The surface of the pool sparkled
from the underwater lights. Dim lights shone over most of the doors. They cast
overlapping shadows, so the tables and chairs outside each room became a jumble
of lines. The bushes sat like hunched figures. The patio under the awning had
no lights, plunging the gruesome sight there into darkness. The entrance to the
stairwell was a black pit. Shadows everywhere. So many shadows.
