Consider Me Dead

Ardis Cole #8

by Vickie Britton, Loretta Jackson

A troubled teenager, Jenna Carrington, leaves her father a note to consider me dead before she runs away from home. Five years later the skeletal remains of a female murder victim are found in the river near Sydney, Australia. Archaeologist Ardis Cole traces Jenna’s flight to a homeless shelter on the outskirts of the city. Safe Port’s manager, Quentin Trebb, seems to know more about the missing girl and some rare black opals stolen from her father’s safe than he is willing to reveal. The investigation takes Ardis to Majeri, an Aboriginal settlement in the outback. There, entangled in the dangers of the bush, Ardis finds herself the next target of a vicious killer, stalking her every move, waiting to strike again.

Vickie Britton and Loretta Jackson, sisters, have co-authored over fifty novels, and numerous short stories, most of them mystery, suspense, and westerns. They are recipients of the Edna Osborne Whitcomb Writing Award, the Seaton Award, and were finalists for the 2013 Readers’ Favorite Book Award.
