Has Cari finally met her match?

Cari and Bob stop by a picturesque lake to take a selfie in the middle of their morning run. A second glance at the lake reveals a car bobbing to the surface. When the dive team arrives to pull the car from the lake, they discover the driver inside, his wrist tied to the steering wheel. Cari is immediately pulled into the suspicious death and starts investigating the dead man’s background. Genevieve and Alex aren’t far behind her on the trail. Who was Evan Turanski and how did he end up dead in the lake? Cari’s dogged pursuit of the answers takes her into a new unsafe arena. Can she find the killer without putting herself in the crosshairs too?

Author

Leslie Piggott is a stay-at-home mom who lives in Buda, Texas. She and her husband, Brad, have two children. She has been a long distance runner since middle school and following college graduation began running marathons as a hobby. She has since completed fourteen full marathons. Leslie has always loved being creative and in addition to writing, she also knits, crochets, quilts, sews bags and dresses for her daughter, and does watercolor paintings. Always up for a challenge, she frequently designs her own quilt or tote bag patterns.

Leslie enjoys volunteering in her children's schools as well as within her church and community when possible. In fact, she donates many of her craft and sewing projects to a local silent auction, which she organizes annually. The proceeds from the auction support a memorial fund for her neighbors who tragically lost their son in 2011. Additionally, she also enjoys giving away many of her creations to friends, teachers, neighbors, and other loved ones as gifts.
