A stranger's plea. A web of lies. A truth Leah can no longer ignore.
When Australian psychologist Marguerite Pierce lands unannounced in Himmel, Wisconsin, investigative journalist Leah Nash wants nothing to do with her desperate request: exonerate Marguerite's sister, Hannah, convicted of murdering her married lover. Leah's plate is full--her struggling small-town newspaper is hemorrhaging advertisers and her latest book deadline looms. But Marguerite's plea strikes a raw nerve: "You know what it's like to lose a sister. You're my last chance to save mine." Digging into the victim Matthew Ferguson's life, Leah uncovers a minefield of motives. His wife mourns with suspicious fervor. His sister nurses a decades-old grudge. A political rival seethes over ruined ambitions. The husband of Matthew's mistress can't hide his fury at the man who destroyed his marriage. But it's Hannah's own daughter--bitter, evasive, and desperate to derail Leah's investigation--who raises the sharpest questions. What secrets are worth killing to protect? As Leah races to untangle the truth, her own life becomes increasingly chaotic. A zealous fan's admiration becomes a dangerous fixation, her newspaper teeters on collapse, and a looming personal decision threatens to upend her relationship with longtime partner David Cooper. Worse still, the case forces Leah to confront the ghosts of her past--and the realization that her relentless pursuit of justice may come at the cost of her own future. Set against the vividly rendered backdrop of Himmel, Wisconsin--where everyone knows your name and no one knows your secrets--Dangerous Betrayals balances small-town charm with knife-edge suspense. Fans of Louise Penny's Three Pines series, Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone books, or Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire stories will appreciate Leah's wry humor, flawed humanity, and dogged quest for answers in a world where trust and betrayal can walk hand in hand. ____________________ Praise for Susan Hunter and the Leah Nash mystery series: "...flawless and satisfying." --Cynthia Hamilton, author of the Madeline Dawkins Mysteries "...will leave readers breathless and ready for more." --LynDee Walker, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Fear No Truth [Leah]...encourages the reader to follow her wherever she goes, and I intend to do just that." --Laura Snider, author of Unsympathetic Victims "Leah Nash is a feisty, determined heroine who fearlessly chases truth, justice, and the next great story." --Shannon Baker, author of the Kate Fox mystery series "Leah is smart and motivated with a healthy sense of humor.
