A STEEP PRICE, Book Six of the Tracy Crosswhite Mystery series

Called in to consult after a young woman disappears, Tracy Crosswhite has the uneasy

feeling that this is no ordinary missing-persons case. When the body turns up in

an abandoned well, Tracy's suspicions are confirmed. Estranged from her family,

the victim had balked at an arranged marriage and had planned to attend graduate

school. But someone cut her dreams short.

Solving the mystery behind the murder isn't Tracy's only challenge. The detective

is keeping a secret of her own: she's pregnant. And now her biggest fear seems to

be coming true when a new detective arrives to replace her. Meanwhile, Tracy's colleague

Vic Fazzio is about to take a fall after his investigation into the murder of a 

local community activist turns violent and leaves an invaluable witness dead.

Two careers are on the line. And when more deadly secrets emerge, jobs might not

be the only things at risk.
