The Pecan Springs Enterprise Trilogy: Deadlines, Fault Lines, FirelinesIf youre a fan of China Bayles, Ruby Wilcox, and Pecan Springs, Texas, youll love Susan Wittig Alberts three new novellas, together in a single edition!Prime crime on deadline.DEADLINESWhen Pecan Springs Enterprise crime reporter Jessica Nelson gets an anonymous tip about a year-old death that might be murder, shes already facing too many deadlines, so the story is low on her to-investigate list. Plus, shes distracted by the possibility of a hot lead in the cold-case arson deaths of her parents and twin sister, deaths for which she suffers survivors guilt and a phobic fear of fire.And time is running out for the Enterprise. The newspaper is facing a deadline that threatens to destroy it-and the jobs of everybody on the staff. But after Jessica and her friend China Bayles discover the secret identity hidden in hand-crafted notepaper, she knows she has to get the story.FAULT LINESIts beginning to seem inevitable: Pecan Springs only newspaper is folding and crime reporter Jessica Nelson and the rest of the Enterprise staff are losing their jobs. Whose fault is it? Can anything be done to stop it? At the same time, Jessica herself is struggling with a secret born from the arson deaths of her family: a debilitating fear of fire that threatens her ability to do her work. But those arent the only frightening issues on Jessicas plate. Her friend Ruby Wilcox, developing her psychic skills with the help of the secretive director of the paranormal psychology lab at the university, is compelled to dig up a long-buried secret from her past-and begs Jessica and China Bayles to help. What will they find? Whose fatal fault will they uncover? Can the killer finally be held to account for a long-forgotten murder?FIRELINESThe Enterprise has a new lease on life, but nobody knows how long that will last. Will there be a newspaper tomorrow? Theres plenty of work on Jessica Nelsons crime desk, but when she learns of a hot lead in the cold-case arson deaths of her parents and twin sister, she knows she has to investigate it. The story pulls her into the death of a cop, requires her to face her own phobic fear of fire, and introduces her to a man-much too old for her-who is passionately committed to using fire to protect the wilderness.Will this bring her any closer to a killer who has eluded the police for over twenty years-and who threatens to start another deadly, catastrophic wildfire?What readers say about Susan Wittig Alberts novella trilogies:--A quick and thoroughly engaging read, with just enough of Pecan Springs and its familiar faces to feel like you're there in town, but exploring a different neighborhood.--Loved this novella!

Keep them coming!
