Fault Line Murder

Travel writer Patricia McKay heads to Carlsbad, New Mexico, with her boyfriend Brian, hoping a change of scenery will do them both good. But their visit to Carlsbad Caverns ends in disaster when an earthquake strikes and a fellow traveler is found dead.

With the town struggling to care for its wounded, a murder investigation is hardly anyone's first priority. Brian suspects the dead man's wife, Paula. Patricia has questions of her own, and she isn't ready to leave a grieving woman without help.

Offering Paula a place in their RV seems like an act of kindness. As they head east, it becomes clear that leaving Carlsbad won't mean leaving the mystery behind.

Patricia wanted a quiet trip with Brian. Now she needs to know whether helping Paula has put them both in danger.
