Murder Canyon
When the mutilated body of a beautiful and popular recent graduate of
Clarion University is discovered in a desolate canyon, the nearby rural
community of Chuma fears that the killer still lurks among them. Ardis
Jensen, a forensic psychologist turned campus counselor, horrified at
the student's brutal murder and troubled that another student might be
the killer, becomes deeply embroiled in the investigation.
As searing, late summer winds swirl through the orchards, Ardis and
Detective Larry Hopkins discover that grim secrets lie beneath
Chuma's seemingly tranquil surface, and that skeletons hide in many a
Clarion closet.

Lethal Lake
Ardis Jensen, a university counselor is haunted by her past. Both the
brutal murder of her young sister and years of grueling work as an L. A.
County Sheriff’s forensic psychologist have left their scars.
The grim discovery of a valued professor’s body found in a lake
adjacent to an enclave of wealthy ranchers devastates her and awakens
old fears. The grisly revelation stuns the small, rural community, and
neighbors fear a killer lurks among them
Despite her reluctance, Ardis is drawn into the murder investigation by
the pleas of the victim’s daughter, and the urging of the local police
chief. When suspects begin to emerge at the university and in Beverly
Hills, Palm Desert, and Torgiano, Italy, Ardis herself becomes a target
for murder as the killer tenaciously fights to keep her from uncovering
his dark past.
Despite the danger, she forges ahead, exposing skeletons shrouded in
the university closets and unearthing ugly secrets concealed within the
imposing estates and leafy orchards. As she untangles the webs of deceit
and draws closer to the shocking truth, the killer, fearing she will divulge
his sinister deeds, propels her toward the deadly lake.
