Excerpt: Deadman's Switch

Deadman's Switch by Kim Keeline

Jacket Blurb:
Just because a loved one dies, doesn’t mean your life ends. People tell this to Liz McKenzie all the time, but she isn’t sure she believes it. Liz’s life feels like it is at an end since the death of her husband. Helen and Ron have been patient with her but now they feel it is time for her to get out into the world and get involved once again. She doesn’t want to do it–it’s too soon, she isn’t interested, it can wait a little longer–but they refuse to listen to her excuses.

So without really wanting to, Liz finds herself volunteering at a local train museum where her uncle used to volunteer when she was a child. She has fond memories of the place but isn’t enthused to be there now.

Her enthusiasm is chilled even further when she finds the body of a volunteer dead on the floor of the group’s new building, a railroad spike through his back. Now Liz is in a deadly dance with a killer and she will rediscover just what grief and rage can drive a person to do.
