Book excerpt: Rachel Chance is happy with her life in Glen Falls, Indiana with her retired racing Greyhound Abby and her gray cat Dancer. She left a high stress job in social work and is still stinging from the betrayal that led her to divorce a husband she realized she did not know after all. Now Rachel is managing rental properties for her stepfather and selling real estate. Rachel’s life is predictable. Daily walks take her past her neighbors including Charley and his Greyhound Gooch. Every Saturday is a trip to the dog park so Abby can play with her Greyhound friends. Most Sundays involve helping her friend Stephen with his kennel business. A year after her divorce, Rachel appreciates the way her life has settled into comfortable patterns. Then a murder occurs in her neighborhood. The victim is Gerald Price, the brother- in-law of her neighbor Carol. He is killed in a house that Rachel manages for her stepfather, a house just a few doors from Rachel’s. When Carol comes under suspicion, Rachel vows to help her. When a friend needs help, Rachel doesn’t even need to think about it. She commits to assist in any way needed. She’s joined by Will, a new love interest who has recently moved back to Glen Falls. Together, Rachel and Will come up with a plan to find out who might have killed Gerald. Rachel finds that Carol’s family has lots of money but lots of secrets as well. Carol’s father Donald Morris amassed a fortune before he died that included both inherited family money and the proceeds from a lucrative car dealership. Carol has been estranged from her brother William and her sister Jackie, but knows she must confront them when she is accused of stealing family money. Rachel and Will strive to uncover secrets about the family and the family business. Rachel finds that the victim, Carol’s brother-in-law Gerald, was involved in schemes that may hold the key to solving the mystery. However, uncovering the truth about the schemes is not easy. Rachel and Will know some people are lying, but who and about what? Finding who had a motive to kill Gerald is hidden in a web of lies. When Carol’s niece Allison disappears, Rachel and Will suspect it has something to do with the murder. Allison’s father, William, doesn’t seem concerned and Rachel wonders why not. The mystery becomes more complex, and the stakes are even higher as Allison’s life may be in danger. As they search for clues about who killed Gerald, Rachel and Will hear a story about lost treasure belonging to George Rogers Clark that may be hidden on property owned by Carol’s family. They rely on Rachel’s friend Charley, an expert in local history, to help them discover whether the story about a lost treasure could be true. And a motive for murder. Although Rachel and Will find out more details about Gerald’s life, they are no closer to finding out who killed him. Plenty of people had a motive for killing Gerald, but each new lead comes to a dead end. When Rachel and Will are summoned to the police department, they are warned to stop investigating, but Rachel will not stop as long as her friend Carol is under suspicion. As Rachel and Will continue to seek answers, Rachel is faced with a new danger. A cunning killer had been hiding in plain sight all along. In a dramatic confrontation, Rachel’s life is on the line. Her beloved Greyhound Abby may be Rachel’s last hope of escaping from the killer.

A real estate colleague draws her attention to possible shady dealings by a colleague who works in her stepfather’s firm. At the same time, she tries to sooth hurt feelings from her family after she decided to elope with Will Keller. Rachel is glad for the distraction of helping her stepfather Frank McClure raise funds for a new jazz museum. She is fascinated by the story of how a recording studio in a small town in Indiana was so important to the evolution of jazz across the country. When local philanthropist Walter Carmichael announces he will fund the jazz museum and arrange for funding into the future, it seems as though a new jazz museum will be a reality. Musician JJ Jackson returns to Glen Falls, Indiana to support the construction of a new jazz museum dedicated to the history of jazz recordings made there. Soon, he’s embroiled in drama as a bitter rival, Greg Norton, tries to derail plans for the new jazz museum and disparage JJ’s reputation. When Greg Norton is murdered, a Facebook page with a local focus immediately throws suspicion on his colleagues in the real estate business, including Rachel’s stepfather. Rachel is determined to find the murderer and save the reputation of Frank’s real estate agency. When suspicion for Norton’s murder falls on JJ Jackson, the plan for a new jazz museum is suddenly frozen. Despite pleas from JJ, Walter Carmichael will no longer fund the museum. Rachel enlists her husband Will in her search for clues. They discover Greg Norton may have been using illegal methods to secure real estate sales. As they talk to Norton’s colleagues and clients, they find more than one person with a motive for murder. Greg Norton’s lavish lifestyle led to debts he couldn’t pay. Could his wife have seen the payout of a large life insurance policy as a way to solve her financial problems? Even with all the debt, there are hints that Norton had hidden a large amount of cash. Rachel knew the search for the hidden cash was a key to solving the mystery. Further Facebook posts are filled with misleading information and accusations. Some of the accusations point a finger at Rachel’s stepfather which motivates her to find a killer before McClure Realty is crushed by negative publicity. Every time Rachel and Will think they have found an answer, more questions arise. The path to the hidden money puts Rachel and Will directly in the path of great danger. When it seems that a killer may be escaping justice, Rachel and Will decide a risky plan is the only option. In an exciting conclusion, Rachel’s life is threatened. The mystery is solved, and a killer unmasked, when not one but two Greyhounds intervene to help bring a murderer to justice.

Book excerpt: Rachel and Leah is book three in New York Times bestselling author Orson Scott Card's Women of Genesis series—a unique reimagining of the biblical tale. Tracing their lives from childhood to maturity, Card shows how the women of Genesis change each other—and are changed again by the holy books that Jacob brings with him. Leah, the oldest daughter of Laban, whose "tender eyes" prevent her from fully participating in the daily work of her nomadic family, and Rachel, the spoiled younger daughter, the petted and privileged beauty of the family—or so it seems to Leah. There is also Bilhah, an orphan who is not quite a slave but not really a family member, a young woman desperately searching to fit in, and Zilpah, who knows only how to use her beauty to manipulate men as she strives to secure for herself something better than the life of drudgery and servitude into which she has been born. Into the desert camp comes Jacob, a handsome and charismatic kinsman who is clearly destined to be Rachel's husband. But that doesn't prevent the other women from vying for his attention. Ambition, jealousy, fear, and love motivate them as they vie for the attention of Jacob, heir to the spiritual birthright of Abraham and Isaac. Women of Genesis #1 Sarah #2 Rebekah #3 Rachel and Leah At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
