Stalking the Hill: an Annelise Elliot mystery thriller (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781420858594)

Where do government agents go when they retire? What new lives do they make for themselves? Do the perps they put away ever show up to trouble them again? The residents of Wyndom Acres hide the answers to these questions on the hill. The first book of the hill series is titled, 'Stalking the Hill''. Its prologue tosses a bone to readers as to why our heroine, Annelise Elliot, is no longer a government agent actively in the field. Instead, Annelise is protecting a picture perfect community of retired government agents when a philosophical serial killer moves in. Our bad boy is eliminating his stalker competitors by freezing them and their intended victims as trophies. His next target is a stalker who's actively pursuing one of Annelise Elliot's neighbors. This is the killer's biggest mistake. Annelise willingly becomes the bait necessary to coax her neighbor's stalker to the surface. When the accused stalker is discovered dead and his victim disappears; neighbors, friends, police and even her husband become suspects. Annelise and her retired DEA, ATF and FBI buddies uncloak a bane psychopath whose acrimonious methodology is more menacing than the killer who caused her early retirement. The book series is about Annelise Elliot; who wants to be a champion for stalker victims. She's begun solving crimes again and is constantly challenged by the curiosity of fellow agents and neighbors, while secretly publishing books about her adventures. Using the pen name Sarah Karyn and the aid of publisher and friend Paula Vander Lynn, Annelise recoups investigation costs and maintains a healthy community member image. Aside from the villains she captures, there's always one particular FBI agent with an agenda to stop her story telling. Book two is in the works and is titled, Ides of Whispers on the Hill. The plot line involves a female serial killer that's in the business of authenticating the DNA pedigrees of babies being sold as the illegitimate offspring of professional athletes. The high dollar infant sales drop dramatically after Annelise discovers the killer is also out to kill her family and the FBI guy who doesn't want her books published.
