Snakebird is the debut novel of the Laney McVey Series. It's the gripping story about a woman who must face the possibility that her sister's tragic death wasn't an accident after all.
Editor, Laney McVey, arrives in Hickory, Kentucky to help her sister celebrate the opening of the Stoney Creek Bed & Breakfast, only to learn that Cara has died in a tragic canoe accident. Compounding her anguish, Laney makes a disturbing discovery about her sister's past. Unable to cope, she deals with her pain in her safe, customary way--by emotionally disconnecting.
But Laney's impassiveness is unexpectedly shattered when brutal episodes of violence begin to threaten her and those she loves. Suddenly, she is forced to face the possibility that Cara's death wasn't an accident after all.
As events spiral out of control, in one final, desperate act to unravel the mystery of Cara's final moments, Laney faces her own possible death in a shocking, terror-filled climax.
