Author Description

Pepin View Manor sits atop a four-hundred-foot tall bluff overlooking Lake Pepin. The picturesque coulee area of western Wisconsin is charming, secluded, and hides a deadly secret. Looking for a fresh start, Tyler Benson and his fifteen-year-old daughter Lucy move to Wisconsin to restore the Manor. Mill Valley is a community that knows little crime and basks in the laid-back warmth of summer by the lake. Tyler and Lucy are drawn to the quiet librarian, Beth Dent. With her gentle smile and guileless manner, Beth tries to help them make sense of the incidents at the Manor. At first it appears as simple mischief, but soon the threats become disturbing. With the involvement of the local police chief and the reassurance from locals, Tyler feels safe enough to continue to carve out a place for them at the Manor, determined that no one is going to drive him away. He doesn't realize how far they will go to get him to leave. Before long, the three are drawn into a situation that will change their lives forever - if they live through it.
