Synopsis

Obsession, murder, and revenge are the driving forces behind this brilliant debut novel by Wendy DeVere-Austin. Jessica Parkerson has the perfect life: a lawyer husband David whom she adores; a new interior design business with her best friend; and a Malibu Beach home. With this seemingly ideal life, what could go wrong? Then the obscene telephone calls begin-a stranger obsessed with Jessica and clearly aware of her daily activities. Meanwhile, a psychotic killer hell-bent for revenge lurks perilously close, inflicting terror on his victims. "Still Waters Run Deep" illustrates one woman's pursuit for the perfect life and one man's obsession with revenge. At a break-neck pace and deft precision, Wendy DeVere Austin has woven an unforgettable tale, establishing a notable presence in the world of suspense fiction.

From Publishers Weekly:

Ron Goulart's debut collection, Adam and Eve On a Raft: Mystery Stories, follows two advertising industry men with wildly different approaches to the respective murder cases they stumble upon. Scrib Merlin, a copywriter who wants to be a comedian, decodes the strange final words of various murder victims but doesn't necessarily improve his own lot; and the anonymous California Adman, finding he's unable to dissuade some murderous acquaintances from their ghastly business, instead describes their behaviors. (Crippen & Landru, $17 214p ISBN 1-885941-58-7)Jessica Parkerson, wife of a prominent Malibu defense lawyer, receives several threatening anonymous phone calls, precursors to terrifying acts of vengeance perpetrated by an embittered, twisted man.
