In only three more days, on October 25th, the stunning BREAKDOWN mini-series will conclude with book 4, what she knew by yours truly! Read on for an excerpt of my BREAKDOWN novel and to enter the week 4 giveaway!

BREAKDOWN is a unique and groundbreaking four-book suspense series, written by four authors that will keep you turning pages until the killer is finally exposed.

Shutter Lake, nestled in the peaceful Sierra Nevada Mountains, is rocked by a shocking murder. Four women, friends who moved to the area to find healing and solace, must now dig deep and overcome the scars of past troubles to find a ruthless killer.

About what she knew by Regan Black

THE BREAKDOWN ERUPTS… Dr. Luciana Perez thought she hit the jackpot when she landed the position at the Shutter Lake Medical Clinic. Until her friend Sylvia Cole is murdered and the authorities come calling, certain that Luciana has more information about the crime.

But Luciana only knows Sylvia had secrets she wasn’t inclined to share. Secrets that had Sylvia seriously worried. Secrets someone was willing to kill to keep buried. Every day that the killer isn’t found, Luciana’s fear tightens like a noose around her neck: fear of her own secrets being exposed, fear of becoming the next victim, and fear that the murderer will irrevocably shatter the idyllic peace and security of their beautiful town.

A note from me

There is a certain magic that happens when writing friends get together and ask ‘what if’. When Debra Webb, Vicki Hinze, Peggy Webb and I began this collaboration, we started with the idea of a ‘perfect’ planned community and asked ourselves what if the designed peace and serenity were only an illusion,a fragile veil covering dark and dangerous secrets. BREAKDOWN came to life for us one character, one secret, and one lie at a time and we’re thrilled to deliver a mini-series that will keep you guessing right up to the very last page.

This four part mini-series concludes with the release of what she knew by Regan Black on Thursday, October 25, 2018.

Enjoy this excerpt from what she knew

Her house of cards was swaying. About to topple.

Dr. Luciana Perez sat in her home office, her chair turned toward the gray, rainy evening on the other side of the window. The vibrant fall color of the trees behind her house had been muted by the weather as well as her mood. On the desk, her cell phone chimed with yet another text message alert and she ignored it, her courage momentarily failing her.

She’d heard the news via text an hour ago and she had yet to shake off the chill that washed over her. A young woman, stripped to the waist, had been pulled from the river. The body was not immediately recognizable, thanks to the natural course of decomposition, but she could almost hear the name in the ping and patter of raindrops against the glass: Josie Rodriguez.

Ana had never been more grateful that her scope of work at the Shutter Lake Medical Clinic didn’t include serving as the coroner.

The text message notifying her about the body had been from her friend Dana Perkins. Dana, a superb psychologist and principal of Shutter Lake School, had been worried about Josie for weeks. Ana knew this wasn’t the answer Dana had hoped for when she asked their friend Julia Ford, a former investigative reporter to look into the girl’s disappearance.

Maybe it wasn’t Josie after all.

If only. A bitter, half-sob slipped through Ana’s lips. If the remains turned out to be someone other than Josie, the tension and fear gripping Shutter Lake would only increase exponentially. She had a few patients who didn’t need that kind of stress exacerbating underlying concerns and conditions.
