The Madres Deal

By: J.J. Lyon

What if knowing the truth meant putting yourself within ten feet of a killer? Shae Barcola has spent years dodging strangers, hiding the secret that pulls confessions from anyone who wanders too close. Her 'gift' has cost her peace, her sense of belonging, and her closest relationships. But when a wealthy client discovers her ability and pleads for help to find his missing daughter, Kennedy, Shae sees both danger and the chance to reclaim her worth.

As Shae follows Kennedy’s trail across Wyoming and Colorado, she uncovers connections to Bree—a vibrant young woman whose death on the slopes may not have been an accident. The deeper Shae digs, the clearer it becomes: Kennedy isn’t just missing. She’s in the crosshairs of someone ruthless; someone who will kill to keep secrets buried.

Shae has never worked a case before. But she knows one thing with absolute certainty—truth always surfaces around her. To save Kennedy, she must risk stepping into the shadows she’s avoided her whole life. And to catch a killer, she’ll have to stand within arm’s reach.
