Die Smiling

Die Young

Hilde Swensen is a beauty pageant queen with a face to die for and a body to kill for. But by the time Detective Claire Morgan finds her in a shower stall-posed like a grotesquely grinning doll-Hilde is anything but pretty. She's the victim of a sick, deranged killer. And she won't be the last . . .

Die Beautiful

Brianna Swenson is the beauty queen's sister-and the girlfriend of Claire's partner Bud. She tells Claire that Hilde had plenty of enemies, including a creepy stalker, an abusive ex-boyfriend, and a slew of jealous competitors. But what she doesn't say is that they both shared a dark, disturbing secret. A secret that refuses to die . . .

Die Smiling

From the after-hours parties of a sinister funeral home to the underworld vendettas of the Miami mob, Claire follows the trail with her lover Nicholas Black, a psychiatrist with secrets of his own. But it's not until she uncovers evidence of unspeakable acts of depravity that Claire realizes she's just become a diabolical killer's next target . . .

"One of the most creepy, crawly and compelling psychological thrillers ever." -Fresh Fiction on Dark Places
