Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:BANK ON MURDERFor generations the venerable family-owned bank has served the old logging town in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. But suddenly Marv Peterson, bank president and family patriarch, seems unnaturally distracted; his heirs and employees are jittery.

Abetted show more by her unsinkable house-and-home editor, Emma snoops for a story and ends up investigating murder—the strangling death of the bank's sexy blonde bookkeeper after a rendezvous at a local motel.
