Night Passage by Carol Davis Luce (
SYKM), a standalone suspense thriller set in Nevada starring a reporter vs a murderer, originally out from Zebra in 1995.
Puzzling secrets, eerie atmosphere, vicious murders—these surround the Nevada town of Eagleton, where Roni Mayfield is trapped, compelled to investigate the brutal slaughter of her mentor Caroline Holt. While rumored a suicide, Roni knows that Caroline’s death is a result of sinister foul play. As a reporter who needs to investigate all happenings exhaustively and as a friend who demands revenge, she seeks to restore balance to the scales of justice. With only the rotting corpse, John Glazer, as an ally, Roni must evade the shadow-like murderer who follows her almost undetectably and get the answers she needs. What she does not know is that she has a larger mission: survive.
