No Hard Feelings

A Kate Stanton Hollywood Mystery seriesbook 3 of 3Next:The Crossing at Blaisdell Park(2015) →

Some secrets can't stay hidden, especially when they involve murder...

Liz Farrell is still reeling over the murder of her mother almost a year earlier at the hands of her father, Leo Bauer, when she receives the startling news that she's inherited her estranged father's sizable estate. Unable to come to terms with her father's unspeakable legacy, Liz and her grandmother, Kate Stanton, visit Leo's property in Benedict Canyon, desperately hoping to find closure.

Instead, they find a bunker hidden under an old hunting lodge that had been used by Leo at one time to hold Liz's mother captive. Horrified by the discovery, Liz immediately orders the bunker filled and the lodge destroyed but the ensuing demolition quickly comes to a grinding halt after a man's remains are discovered in a shallow grave at the base of the old lodge.

Once the press get wind of the gruesome discovery, rumors quickly surface, linking the remains to a murder spree that took place at the same address almost half a century earlier; a murder spree conveniently covered up by the governor at the time who also happened to be Leo Bauer's stepbrother.

Liz and Kate's efforts to uncover the truth behind the murders are soon hampered by family secrets and a killer who's intent on finishing the job started almost fifty years ago.
