The Cape Trouble series is an original romantic suspense series from RITA-Award-winning author Janice Kay Johnson. Known for delivering stories that combine strong, realistic characters, compelling mysteries and deeply emotional romances, Johnson once again delivers in the first book, Shroud of Fog. The secrets of the past haunt the present… Cape Trouble, a tiny Oregon Coast town, was named for the dangerous off-shore reefs. But some of its citizens seek refuge from their own troubles…which have a way of following them. Emily Drake has clung to her solitude for four long years after the tragic death of her husband and child, filling empty days stitching quilts that will be heirlooms for other families, never her own. It takes a terror-filled escape from a midnight intruder to open her eyes. She desperately wants to embrace life again…if death’s next approach isn’t utterly silent. Detective Sean Holbeck is powerfully drawn to his new neighbor, a woman threatened by an unknown enemy. He’s already investigating a murder that he fears is just the beginning. Until he knows why the victim was chosen, he can’t stop a killer…or protect Emily, who may hold the key to understanding an enraged man set on vengeance. Dark threads of past and present, guilt and grief and pain, have twisted together until only love and trust might untangle them before a killer strikes again… What people are saying about the romantic suspense novels of Janice Kay Johnson:
