Lurking on the Precipice

Book excerpt: A missing runaway... Anonymous threats... Mysterious disappearances… All in a charming neighborhood brimming with secrets. Pari Malik doesn’t expect to get caught up in a murder investigation during a vacation to idyllic Mountain Quail Gardens in the desert. But disappearing visitors and cryptic warnings convince her that foul play is involved. Nine suspects have her seeing intrigue around every corner, but no bodies means no crime. If it wasn’t for a snooping octogenarian who enjoys spying on her neighbors, Pari might be alone in her suspicions. As more people vanish from Mountain Quail Gardens, Pari isn’t just investigating, she’s under suspicion herself! She’ll need to solve the mysteries to clear her name… and before she becomes the next victim. "Lurking on the Precipice" is a complex mystery novel set in the desert Southwest. It is the follow-up to Pari Malik's debut in "Lurking on the Tightrope: Mystery at Diamond Head" and it can be read as a stand-alone book."
