New Sequel to Surprise!
Memories of You
October 1947. Former concert pianist Janos Husaruch has returned to his wife, mystery writer Vicki Westlake, after serving with the Ritchie Boys intelligence group in WWII. Though nearly two years have passed, the war has left enough of a mark on his psyche that he has not been able to return to the stage. However, with the renewal of his faith and the support of his wife, Janos has mended enough to return to recording. Life seems to be improving for the musician/writer couple, until a middle-of-the-night appearance by a man with whom Janos served unnerves them with news of a soldier whose fate had haunted Janos. The revelation so violently shakes the couple’s world that they must go on a dangerous search to find the true fate of the soldier whom Janos thought he had sent to his death. Their search involves them in secret identities, startling coverups, and a threat to Vicki’s life. When they do find the truth, they are caught in a deadly struggle with a relentless protagonist amidst a devouring wildfire in the deep woods of Maine.

Don’t forget to read the first book in the Vicki Westlake series:
Surprise!
October, 1939, Massachusetts. Vicki Westlake, a successful, smart-talking mystery writer, accepts the dare of two old friends to spend a “dark and stormy night” in the type of isolated house that would give H.P. Lovecraft the willies. Once left alone, Vicki finds herself not alone for long. A car accident on the deserted road sends concert pianist Janos Husaruch to join her, a man with a brooding past and an unexpected connection to Vicki. That’s not Vicki’s only surprise, for she and Husaruch discover something upstairs much more terrifying than a spooky dare. There’s plenty of 1940s-style banter and wit, but mostly chills, and not just from the weather, as the body count starts to rise. Terrible secrets and dark betrayals leave Vicki terrifyingly uncertain whom to trust. Before the storm-tormented night is through, Vicki and Janos, as well as her three friends who unexpectedly arrive, will find themselves stranded in a house of death, death ever hungry for more victims.
