When one of the riverboat passengers winds up dead, Nicole realizes this assignment was anything but straightforward. Soon, Nicole is immersed in a high-stakes game of murder and espionage where trusting a stranger can be as deadly as a bullet.? "Nicole Graves is the best fictional sleuth to come down the pike since Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone." &–Laura Levine, bestselling author of the Jaine Austen Mysteries The Nicole Graves Mysteries have been compared to the mysteries of Mary Higgins Clark and praised for contributing to the "women-driven mystery field with panache" (Foreword Reviews) as well as for their "hold-onto-the-bar roller coaster" plots (RT Book Reviews).

And Foreword Reviews has fallen for the "tough and likable protagonist Nicole Graves" while Midwest Book Review praises the "exquisite tension" throughout the plot. Each book in the Nicole Graves Mysteries is written as a stand-alone. Readers do not need to read every book in the series to follow along. Order of Books in the Nicole Graves Mysteries: 1.
