River's Edge: A Small-Town Romantic Suspense

In the third book in the Cape Refuge series by New York Times bestselling author Terri Blackstock, a newspaper owner and a police chief team up to investigate the death of a mayoral candidate's wife, an event which quickly turns from small-town scandal into a national media event.

Ben Jackson is going head to head with Jonathan Cleary in Cape Refuge's mayoral race--and he's even expected to win--when his wife Lisa turns up missing the day before the major debate. Suddenly the town is in turmoil as proof of an alleged affair surfaces, indicating that Ben Jackson might have had motive to kill his wife.

Meanwhile, newspaper owner Blair Owens has other suspicions--and so does Police Chief Cade. Together they dig deeply into the mysterious disappearance that soon spirals into a web of confusion, dark secrets, and unsettling fraud. Then the town's psychic reveals the location of Lisa's body--at the bottom of the river. Even though Blair doesn't believe his paranormal gift is real, she can't imagine how he knew where the body was. The small-town scandal quickly turns into a national media event. Is the murderer one of the obvious suspects . . . or someone they have no reason to doubt?

Atmospheric, tightly plotted, and emotionally charged, River's Edge is a powerful addition to Terri Blackstock's Cape Refuge series (Cape Refuge, Southern Storm, River's Edge, Breaker's Reef).
