The Killing of Alyssa

Alyssa Cosgrove knew she was marked. Tragedy had taken so much of her life already--and so many of the people she loved. Simply put, she knew one day she would be murdered. No matter how hard she tried--and how fast she ran, she was certain one day he would find her and when he did, he would do what he had promised. He would kill her. Lives intersect, and collide, for a reason, sometimes in ways people don't understand. Jade Whetstone left New York City and all of the brights lights as a best-selling romance novelist for one reason--despite her fame and fortune, she was miserable. She bought a farm out in the middle of nowhere really--this quiet, indescript town of Summit not far from the mountains. And then her world changed forever when she met Alyssa and discovered her diary. Jade's life was turned upside down as she was thrust in the middle of a hideous crime, a web of deceit and an intricate game of psychological warfare. Who killed Alyssa? Alyssa Cosgrove lies in a shallow grave, tossed there like a piece of trash and which man did it? There were only two. And it's true - dead men don't swim. Jade must keep a silent promise she gave to Alyssa and she would keep that vow no matter what. Then maybe one day, Jade would find rest and stop the other "Alyssa's" of the world from winding up in a shallow grave.
