Turning The Pages feat. Graven Images by Lori Roberts Herbst

 






The first line or two . . . 
A soft breeze wafted
through the aspen trees, sending dangling golden leaves into a frenzied dance
beneath the glinting sunlight. 

The scent of pine drifted on the wind. I turned my face upward and smiled at the warmth of the autumn
sun as it broke throught the low hanging fog. 

And on page 56 . . . 
A bit from chapter 10
. . . My father sank into the chair, looking forlorn. 

. . . He ran a hand through his hair.  "It's a long story Sundance...

The last page . . . 
Just teasing.  You'll have to read the book. 

About the book . . .
A photo assignment at the cemetery leads Callie Cassidy to a corpse—this one above ground. Now, her search for the killer unearths some long-buried secrets…

Callie’s mother Maggie, a notorious hobby jumper, has embarked on a new pursuit—grave rubbing. When she recruits her daughter to photograph her first endeavor at the local cemetery, Callie brings golden retriever Woody and tabby cat Carl along for the outing. It’s a breathtaking autumn morning in Rock Creek Village, Colorado. Golden aspen leaves rustle in the cool breeze, and the air is filled with the scent of pine. What could go wrong on a day like this?

Then, a ghostly woman emerges from the trees, bleeding from a head wound and claiming to have no memory of how she arrived, or even who she is. Maggie quickly identifies her as a woman who disappeared from the village forty years ago—without a trace.

If that’s not enough intrigue, Woody disobeys her and sprints deeper into the cemetery. When Callie catches up to him, he is sitting sentinel at the tombstone of a recently deceased villager. And behind the stone, a man lies on the ground—with a pickaxe jutting from his neck.

Callie recognizes him as the low-level mobster who has been dating her best friend Tonya’s mother—and they’d been having problems. Did Tonya’s mother kill the man? Could it have been the mysterious woman? Or maybe someone with ties to his crime family?

Callie can’t resist investigating—and this time, Detective Raul Sanchez welcomes her assistance. Because if they can’t solve the crime soon, the town may be facing grave consequences…
