Shot Through the Book

Description
The salt-laced air of the Outer Banks usually carries only the cries of gulls and the crash of waves, but the upcoming YA book festival at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library promises a different kind of storm. Authors from across the globe are descending, yet it’s the unexpected, private visit from author Todd Harrison to librarian Lucy McNeil’s beach house that raises the first questions.
When Lucy steps away for mere minutes to fetch a drink, she returns to find Harrison murdered on her deck. Puzzled by his clandestine meeting and the impossible speed of the crime, Lucy finds herself drawn into the investigation. Her determination intensifies with the arrival of Harrison’s widow, Heather, whose grief seems secondary to her ambition. Heather plans to exploit her husband’s death to launch a senatorial campaign, and Lucy, along with the local police, is her immediate target.
Amidst a clamoring fan club, authors jockeying for position in the wake of Harrison’s demise, and a widow wielding political ambition like a weapon, Lucy must uncover the truth. She needs to catch a killer before the final page is turned on justice.
