LOVE KILLS –- The Fourth Nan Vining Thriller
"Emley masterfully twists, turns, and shocks."
---- TESS GERRITSEN
Homicide police detective, single mother to a teenage daughter, and lover of partner Jim Kissick, Nan Vining wishes life was a little more serene -- like it is at Georgia Berryhill’s Malibu Canyon compound. Or like it’s supposed to be, anyway.
A healing ground for the well-heeled, three bizarre deaths bring Vining and Kissick through its exclusive gates. First there’s the double homicide of a celebrity private eye and his nude, drugged-out lover. Then there’s the inexplicable drowning of a Pasadena socialite. Georgia Berryhill—the charismatic self-help guru to the stars--is one improbable element linking both investigations. Another is Vining’s own mother, who was a friend to one of the victims and was being wooed by another.
Now, A-listers and wannabe poseurs, lost souls and keepers of long hidden secrets all converge at the Berryhill Compound. Some search for love and happiness, while others come for murder.
