dead man, a total stranger has no identification, except her
business card. Then Rhetta's long estranged and presumed dead
father leaves her a voice mail telling her that he can prove the
victim was murdered. He also tells her he and the victim served
together in Vietnam. But how can the caller be her father when she
has his death certificate? The unknown victim is soon identified-as
a soldier who died on the same day as her father in 1973 Rhetta is
thrown full throttle into a deadly mystery surrounding her father
and a secret trust that has already claimed three lives. Will she
be the fourth?
Banker Rhetta McCarter's ongoing battles usually involve mortgage
loans, federal lending regulations, threats of bulges on her butt,
and her closet-drinking husband. But after one of her mortgage
clients dies in a mysterious car accident, she stumbles upon
evidence of a terrorist plot to wipe out the entire Midwest power
grid. No one believes her-not the FBI, local law enforcement, or
her husband. Rhetta convinces her assistant, and loan officer,
Woody, a former Marine, to help her stop the attack. Problems mount
and time begins running out, leaving Rhetta alone to stop the bad
guys. Can she do it? Praise for Killerwatt: "Oh, I love Rhetta
McCarter She's hilarious, smart, savvy, tenacious, loving-and just
the teensiest bit stubborn. (Good thing, or her hometown would be

adventure-with humor, heart, and a frighteningly realistic story "

When Rhetta McCarter's '79 Camaro is destroyed in a fire, her best
friend and mechanic Victoria (Ricky) Lane, finds a replacement, a
"barnfind" vintage Camaro in perfect condition, except for one
major flaw: a body buried beneath it. Later, Ricky is arrested when
a second victim is found murdered in the same barn. Rhetta is
convinced not only that Ricky is innocent, but that the two murders
are connected. The police don't agree, so Rhetta is forced to fight
her way through a labyrinth of danger and misdirection to find the
real murderer before the killer finds her first.
