Murder in Cascade

An Ellen Douglas Mystery

All Ellen Douglas wanted was a quiet autumn walk through Cascade Park with her dog Louisa. What she found there is something she never wanted to see.

Recently retired from a long career as a federal investigator, Ellen thought small-town Indiana would be the gentle next chapter she’d been hoping for. Beneath the rust-colored leaves and the friendly waves of Cascade’s tight-knit residents, something is hidden. Something that someone, somewhere, would rather stay buried.
