Countdown to Murder
As Halloween day approaches, women disappear and gruesome discoveries are made.
* Days before Halloween, the vacant house across the street from Pepper is sold. * The new homeowner moves in. Distrust rises. Jealousy festers.
* At about the same time, a disturbing young man becomes obsessed with Pepper. But he’s not the only one obsessed with her.
* A prominent woman in the community disappears without a trace, foul play suspected. Police have no leads. But Pepper believes she does, driving her to investigate on her own.
* Pepper’s curiosity draws her deeper and deeper into danger. Life or death danger. Just when she thinks she’s triumphed, a violent encounter she never saw coming changes everything. Perhaps forever.
Will Pepper survive Halloween or become another victim in the countdown to murder?

About the author
Shirley Spain
50 books30 followers Shirley resides in West Jordan, Utah, USA, with her husband and their four-legged children.
She is a graduate of the West Jordan Citizens Police Academy, a CERT member (Community Emergency Response Team) and a VIPS (Volunteers In Police Service) with the West Jordan police.
Shirley enjoys the variety of “research” opportunities her stories offer. She’s been on police “ride alongs,” conducted interviews with law enforcement experts regarding matters such as escaping handcuffs without a key and creating “dead man switches” for bombs.
With the help of willing accomplices, she’s role-played scenes, including being “kidnapped” and thrown into a car, zipped up in a body bag, and locked in the trunk of a car, only to name a few of her stunts!
One might be surprised by the many experiments she has done on herself—for novel research, of course—involving handcuffs, duct tape, chain, rope, hazmat suits, night vision headlamps…
Keeping that in mind, when you read her novels you may wonder how many of the stunts described in the story Shirley might have tried on herself, or someone else ... but she’ll never tell! Or will she? Visit her website to find out more.
