Moon Games

By Shelly Frome

At the outset, Miranda Davis has nothing much going for her. The tourists are long gone by October in the quaint Carolina town of Black Mountain, her realty business is at a standstill, and her weekend stint managing the local tavern offers little to pull her out of the doldrums. When prominent church lady Cloris Raintree offers a stipend to look into the whereabouts of a missing girl hiker on the Q.T, Miranda, along with her partner Harry (an unemployed features writer) agree.

But then it all backfires. A burly figure shambles down a mountain slope with a semi-conscious girl draped over his shoulder. Miranda's attempts to uncover Cloris Raintree's true motives become near impossible as she puts up one smokescreen after another, including a slip of the tongue regarding an incident in Havana. The local police keep stonewalling and Harry is of little help.

Tarot cards left on Cloris' doorstep and arcane prompts on her e-mail only exacerbate the situation. Growing more desperate over the captive girl's fate, Miranda comes across a link to a cold case of arson and murder. With the advent of the dark of the moon, she is summoned to "Tower Time" as this twisty tale continues to run its course.
