Little girls are vanishing from Deadwood, South Dakota. Fearing her daughter might be next, single mom Violet Parker is desperate to find the monster behind the abductions.

With her savings dwindling and just three weeks left to sell her first house or lose her job with Calamity Jane Realty, Violet is ecstatic when a handsome jeweler hires her to sell his centuries-old Victorian masterpiece–until she sees the dilapidated dwelling. Now, if she could somehow convince her only buyer to stop rejecting vintage homes as if they were haunted.

Short on time and long on worry, Violet refuses to give up her dream of a fresh start in Deadwood. But with a malicious co-worker trying to get her fired, a secret admirer sending her creepy messages, and a sexy stranger hiding skeletons in his closet, will Violet end up as one of Deadwood’s dearly departed?

The Deadwood Mystery Series!!!

Welcome to Deadwood—the Ann Charles version. The world Ann has created is a blend of present day and past, of fiction and non-fiction. What’s real and what isn’t is for you to determine as the series develops and the characters evolve.

One thing about this series—it’s going to run on for quite a while, and Violet Parker will have to hang on and persevere through the wild adventures planned for her.

Poor Violet. It’s a good thing she has a lot of gumption to keep her going!
