Hooking and booking a lawman has never been so deadly!

Someone’s killed Harden Long, the meanest man in Beaver City–with a book, in the library–and the murder weapon was checked out to Verity Fausse! What’s an amateur sleuth to do when all eyes are looking at her, including those of Beaver City’s most tenacious lawman? Invite the good detective to tea, that’s what!

Detective Lance Thrust has always suspected the comely Miss Fausse to be one of the devil’s own–always poking her pert button nose into other people’s business and making him look like a fool. Though no one plans on attending the curmudgeonly Long’s funeral, no murder should go unpunished. Lance is determined to solve this case without Verity’s interference. Should be easy since she is suspect number one! Once Thrust and and his new partner Sergeant Ben Dover tag team her, she’ll be squealing her confession in no time.

Verity knows Detective Thrust and Sergeant Dover want to do more than eat her tea cakes when they come calling after the funeral. She’s ready for their rough interrogation but has a few questions of her own, like where exactly was the strong and silent sergeant on the night old man Long was murdered? And why does Ben have paper cuts all over his face and fingers? Verity is going to have to use all her cunning and a few unorthodox maneuvers to gain Lance’s trust and lay bare Ben’s motives without arousing his potentially deadly suspicions.

Absence or infinity–one choice is all that separates them.

White light is all colors blended. A celestially crafted combination of an infinite number of components. White on canvas is the utter lack of color. Two polar extremes as white as the snow from the poles themselves. Two individuals as diametrically opposed as they are the same. The tangible vs. the intangible.

All is not as it seems.

Danger lurks at every corner.

Will she see it in time? Will he save her?

What secrets does the white canvas hold?

White.

Infinity.

White.

Nothingness.

Bliss or Destruction–only one choice separates them.

Do they dare make that choice?

The difference between all that could be and all that never was.
