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.

Many feel alienated and isolated.  And most parents don't know what to
do or how to get help.  This book is not intended to be a quick fix but a
valuable guide for parents to help their child through this difficult time in
their lives.
