“If you love the twists and turns of a Frieda McFadden novel, you will love this mesmerizing blockbuster by Peggy Webb where nothing is what it seems.” Debra Webb, USA TODAY and Amazon Charts bestseller

Four women loved pianist Sergio Salvatori… until they hated him enough to kill him.

When he drops dead at his farewell concert, the suspects begin spinning lies to protect their secrets.

Was it his young wife or one of his ex-wives, all hiding sordid stories? Was it his son or his composer, both with motive? Or did one of his enemies send a hitman to do the job?

And what about his singer, waiting backstage for her cue? Could she have been the one to get rid of the man with a heart the size of an English pea?

The detectives in charge are running in circles. The glitterati of Houston, Texas do not air their dirty laundry.

This sprawling novel–filled with dazzling people and shocking twists–moves between Houston, Texas and in Italy, moving seamlessly between past and present as the lives, lies, and secrets of the four women who loved the Italian husband are laid bare.

From bestselling author Peggy Webb comes the thrilling Alice and Dudley, book 2.

A serial killer is taking young women on the Gulf Coast, a hurricane is coming, and Alice faces the most heartbreaking and dangerous Search and Rescue mission of her career.

Ordinary Alice Logan Jones—a former recluse living alone with Thunder, her SAR dog—has upended her life. Her ex-husband and his little girl came to her house to recover from tragedy, and they are still with her. Now, she’s planning a Fourth of July party with her family and her eccentric neighbors, Dudley and Madeline.

It’s going to be the best day of her life… and the worst.

Alice’s bold, beautiful twin, Mary Jane Logan, will miss the party. She and a colleague are attending a medical convention on the Gulf Coast. It’s a much-needed getaway for the over-worked doctor who plans to combine
business with a quest to discover her deceased mother’s mysterious past.

Her search leads her into a trap… and a deadly cat and mouse game with the elusive kidnapper/killer known as the July Lover.

With few clues and a long list of suspects, Alice and Dudley search for the evil killer who has evaded the law for six years. Can they survive a dangerous search with the famous SAR dog in the middle of a hurricane and rescue his remaining victims before he kills them all?

“She stood still among the trees, listening to the secrets of the river. They came to Alice in bursts of color and sound. Blood red, staining the water, screams suddenly silenced.”

Alice lives a quiet life in smalltown Mississippi where she keeps books for local doctors and tries to keep out of reach of her nosey neighbors, retirees Dudley next door, and circus performer Madeline in the gaudy house across the street. Her only companion is Thunder, her search and rescue dog.

They find the lost. Most recently, a child taken by a depraved maniac known as the Chameleon.

Now another child is missing, not just any child, but one closer than she would ever have imagined, a little girl who draws her back into the life she thought she’d left behind.

Even worse, the case is high profile. The victim is the granddaughter of a Senator. As Alice searches for the child, she becomes the target of a heartless killer.

Can one woman and her remarkable dog survive long enough to save the children? Can she ever forgive her past and love again?
