Cry for Help

Liz James is "vulnerable, caring, and sincere. We cheer her tenacity and courage as she determinedly attempts to protect her godson, flush out a killer, and explore a bewildering new relationship with rugged investigative reporter Nick Finley." —Earlene Fowler, author of Irish Chain and Fool's Puzzle


To say that Liz James is having a bad year would be a huge understatement. Her rocky marriage is finally history, her new apartment looks like a glorified bomb shelter, and her love life—well, what love life? But nothing could prepare Liz for the shocker of the year: her totally together, supersuccessful former best friend, Caroline Marshall, has killed herself . . . and no one, least of all Liz, can even begin to guess why.


Cry for Help—Caroline was one of those women who really did have it all: a perfect husband, a sweet little boy, and a red-hot career as an investigative journalist. But when Liz steps in to help Caroline's partner, Nick Finley, complete her last story, she begins to wonder if Caroline's death was really at her own hands. The article is an exposé on psychiatrists who sleep with their patients—and it seems that Liz's friend was dangerously close to the subject. Close enough to be killed. . .


“A neat little mystery . . . a heroine we can all relate to.” —Earlene Fowler, author of Irish Chain and Fool's Puzzle
