Více o knize

THE DIEHARDLew Morgan is a well-hated man. His friends and family would be happy if he just died. Grover, who runs the general store, is one of his oldest friends. But Lew, as owner of the local bank, doesn’t intend to give Grover another loan. His son Whit is Lew’s whipping boy, and Whit’s wife, Dort, a controlling conniver who just wants Lew’s money. And then there’s Victoria, Lew’s daughter, who is forced to compete for his affection with the other women in his life. They all hate Lew Morgan. You might say that Lew is in danger for his life. If only he had a clue that his brash arrogance rubbed some people the wrong way. If only Lew knew that at least one of these people plans to murder him…MY BROTHER’S KILLERGarth Sullivan lives in the same brownstone as his brother Howdy and his wife, Pamela. Garth once had a career as a woodworker, but that ended when Howdy accidentally caused the slicing of his two fingers. He once had Pamela, too. But now all he has is hate. A festering hate that only grows stronger with each dinner date. But Garth has a plan. It’s a great plan, a wonderful plan. All he has to do to rid himself of Howdy is to fake his own death, and wait for the perfect moment to kill him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t take Eunice into consideration. Eunice is their less-than-attractive neighbor, and she is in love with Garth. So when she sees him outside the building after everyone else thinks he’s dead, she vows to keep his secret. But some secrets just can’t be kept…
