Nowhere to Hide
by Louise Lyndon
Forty years ago the
Australian rural town of Burrawang Bend was the scene of a brutal murder, and
the townspeople are still calling for justice. Marlee Moore, the suspect’s and
victim’s granddaughter, is fighting to clear her grandfather’s name. And no one
is going to stand in her way. But when things take a dangerous and deadly turn,
Marlee must turn to the one man she was determined to run out of town.
Devon Reilly,
investigative journalist for his hit TV show, Justice Served, is in Burrawang
Bend to solve the forty-year-old cold case murder. But, he didn't bargain on
Marlee keeping him from investigating the case and he soon questions where her
loyalties lie. With the living? Or with the dead? But when Marlee and her son’s
life are put in danger, Devon knows he is the only man who can keep them alive.
But what happens when he soon realizes he is the bigger threat to the woman and
kid he loves?

Now for an Excerpt:
Marlee shifted on her seat. She tapped her fingers against
the table, but she would not look at him. Was Marlee finally beginning to see
the holes in Saul’s story?
“I have a copy of the signed statement in which Saul goes
into great detail about Marion having terminal cancer. I can show it to you if
you like.”
“I need to get Max home.” But she made no move to leave.
Instead, she rubbed her hands along her thighs and sank her teeth into her
lower lip. Her foot started to tap beneath the table. “There’s been a lot to
take in. I need to process what I’ve learned tonight.”
She dragged herself to her feet. As she crossed to his bed,
her steps were short and jerky. She turned to face him. He wanted to tell her
not to go. Instead, he pressed his lips together.
“If I have questions, can I call you?”
Devon nodded. He retrieved his wallet and withdrew his card.
She took it immediately.
Saul Moore had seemingly kept his head down and had stayed
out of trouble for forty years. There’d been no reported unexplained deaths in
or around Burrawang Bend. But Devon was in town to poke the bear. And an angry
bear was a dangerous one.
“Marlee, I can’t tell you what to do, but I can ask you to
be careful. Think twice if you’re going to confront him with what you’ve
learnedtonight.”
Devon stood at the door and watched Marlee and Max drive
into the darkness. What was she heading to? Was she going to confront Saul with
what she had learned?
He reached for his mobile and dialed Annie. She answered on
the second ring. “Get a pair of eyeballs on Marlee Moore.”
“Why? What’s going on?”
“I think she may have just realized her grandfather is a
murderer.”
