Deadbolt
Even a dry heat can burn...
After a traumatizing home invasion, Sarah Coleman keeps the outside world at bay. Her house in the Phoenix suburbs becomes her fortress, a stucco barrier between her and all that would harm her. She's thrown the deadbolt shut, she thinks, forever.
But when the thieves return, a dead body and an unlikely companion thrust Sarah into the desert sun she wants so desperately to avoid. With blood on her hands and nowhere to hide, she must venture into the heat for a chance at survival—and maybe even redemption.

About the author
V.K. Scott
6 books4 followersV.K. Scott writes mystery novels. Before his characters started chasing suspects and dodging bullets, V.K.'s pen drew exclusively across the papers of high school English students. While his red ink still flies through stray commas and criminal misspellings by day, by night V.K. Scott hammers out his own twisted tales of crime and detection.
V.K. lives with his wife and son in Phoenix, Arizona. In the hours when he's not writing or teaching, Mr. Scott has a client of one: his toddler son. Recent cases include the Caper of the Disappearing Keys, the Case of the Dirty Diaper, and the Mystery of What is that in Your Mouth?
On his more demented days, V.K. also enjoys writing horror short stories and novellas.
