Do Grave Harm — Trixie Stilletto

“Helpless” and “vulnerable” aren't normally part of freelance writer Jennifer Atkinson's vocabulary. But there's nothing normal about her regularly scheduled radiation treatment, especially when she discovers that while she was fighting claustrophobia inside the massive machine aimed at her breast, someone was murdering the technician at the controls. As the gruesome scene plays over and over in her mind, small details that didn't seem significant at the time start the wheels turning. Soon she's asking more questions than she's answering for the seriously attractive investigating officer, Blue Bald Falls Detective Ben Manteo. Despite Ben's warning she should keep her nose out of it, Jennifer can't resist using her limited energy to pick up seemingly unrelated threads that, inevitably, begin to weave themselves into a narrative. A story of lies, deceit, and betrayal that someone will go to any length to make sure never gets told… Note: The proceeds from this story during October, breast cancer awareness month, will be donated to metastatic breast cancer research.
