First Time in Paperback

From a multiple-award-winning author whose “twists and turns keep you turning the pages” (The Denver Post) comes a brand-new mystery series starring Maxie McNabb—an independent retiree whose adventures across the country in her motor home are destined for murderous roadblocks…

At sixty-three, Maxie isn’t sure that leaving everything behind for a new life is the best move—until she begins cruising down the Alaska Highway in her brand-new Winnebago. With her mini-dachshund, Stretch, at her side, and the open road ahead, she’s never been happier. But before her grand adventure gets underway, Maxie must visit a dear old friend who’s terminally ill. By the time Maxie pulls into Grand Junction, Colorado, Sarah Nunamaker is in the hospital, barely conscious—and someone has broken into her home, leaving her bedroom in shambles. Now, Maxie must figure out who burglarized Sarah’s house and why. But the more Maxie digs, the clearer it becomes that her dear friend’s life isn’t the only one in danger…
