While I've found most mystery/thrillers to be rehashes of the same old plot line, I thought this novel was refreshingly new and original. When my girlfriend picked up my Kindle and started reading I couldn't get it back from her! She read the entire novel before I could finish it myself. Fans of this genre will be more than satisfied. It keeps you guessing until the end! - Jack Murphy, New York Times Bestselling Author

In this gripping, page-turning tale of lies, deceit, and betrayal, will private detective Sloane Monroe catch the killer before he gets the chance to strike again?

On a crisp summer day, Charlotte Halliwell begins her morning the same way she always does, skiing on the slopes of a black diamond course in Park City, Utah. As she makes her way downhill, her thoughts shift, worry setting in as she thinks about the secret she's been keeping, a buried truth she fears can no longer stay hidden.

Rounding the last narrow pass on the ski slope, something doesn't feel right. Her tongue is numb, her eyes blurry, making the trail in front of her too hazy to make out.

In a panic, Charlotte tries to cry out, but she's alone, and in her hysteria she has a sinking feeling, a feeling that today will be her last.

Black Diamond Death is book one in the Sloane Monroe series. Four books in the series have made the USA Today Best-Selling Books List, and book 4, Stranger in Town, was a Shamus Award finalist for best private eye novel of the year.

Dive into Sloane Monroe's world today and get lost in tales of secrets, lies, and all things murder.
