Deadly Production

When life seems too good to be true—watch out.

Mapleton Police Chief Gordon Hepler thinks his troubles with the small-town politics are behind him. The town council has even awarded him a reserved parking place. But an early-morning summons from the new mayor has Gordon on alert. Instead of yet another budget dispute, the mayor announces an independent film company is making a movie in Mapleton. When a member of the film crew is found dead, everything goes sideways. Will Gordon listen to the mayor, or risk his job to find the truth?

 

Deadly Fun

Someone is playing a game with Mapleton's Chief of Police … and it's deadly.

For Mapleton Police Chief Gordon Hepler, a few anonymous prank letters pose no apparent threat. When a tragic car accident kills a friend, Gordon soon learns it was no accident. Going through a victim's personal effects, Gordon discovers the same type of anonymous letters that he's been receiving. Now it's a race against the clock to find the killer before another victim is chosen. Or is Gordon the next casualty on the killer's list?

About the author

Terry Odell

From childhood, Terry Odell wanted to "fix" stories so the characters would behave properly, although it never occurred to her to write her own. Once she began writing—which didn’t happen until her AARP card was well-worn—she found controlling her characters wasn't always possible, as evidenced when the mystery she intended to write turned into a romance, despite the fact that she'd never read one. Odell prefers to think of her books as "Mysteries With Relationships."

After writing eight romantic suspense novels, she finally broke into the mystery genre with Deadly Secrets, and continued that series with Deadly Bones, Deadly Puzzles, Deadly Production, and Deadly Places. She writes the Blackthorne, Inc. series, the Pine Hills Police series, the Triple-D Ranch series, and the Mapleton Mystery series. Her short story collection, Seeing Red, is a Silver Falchion winner. Where Danger Hides, the second book in her Blackthorne series is a HOLT Medallion winner.

You can find her high in the Colorado Rockies (that's altitude—she lives at 9100 feet!) watching wildlife from her window when she should be writing, or at her website, terryodell.com.
