She’s
dying, and she knows it. If only she can stay alive long enough to leave one
last message. As the rain beats against the metal roof, she uses her blood-soaked
fingertip to scrawl on the floorboards... The letters GB.
Detective Madison Knight has been house hunting, but a call from her real
estate agent has nothing to do with finding the perfect property. She’s found a
woman’s body, stabbed multiple times. Madison arrives on scene and is presented
with an unknown Jane Doe and two letters written in blood. There’s no murder
weapon, and it seems Doe was attacked somewhere else.
As Madison works to find justice for the victim, Madison’s own life is put at
risk. What she comes to discover is some people will go to extreme lengths to
protect their secrets—even as far as murder. But will learning that lesson come
too late for her?

Excerpt from Chapter 1 of What
We Bury (Detective Madison Knight series)
“She’s dead.”
Those two words brought Madison Knight to 982
Hillcrest Drive in the middle of a Saturday afternoon in March. It was a quiet
neighborhood in the south end of Stiles, a city of about three hundred sixty
thousand, and it had been her real estate agent, Estelle Robins, who’d called. When Madison saw the name on caller ID, she’d assumed
Estelle had found the perfect place for Madison and her boyfriend, Troy
Matthews. Boy, had she been mistaken.
Madison parked
in the driveway, admiring the raised bungalow with its grayish-brown brick and
beige siding. It couldn’t be older than fifteen years. The front door was under a
small overhang, and that’s where Estelle was standing, her arms wrapped around
herself as if she were cold, but the temperature today was unusually warm. Some
of the more northern states would envy their spring-like weather in early March.
Madison got out of the car and approached Estelle. She
was normally the picture of calm and put-togetherness, but her hair was frizzed
around her heart-shaped face, and her eyes were wet and wide. Her brown
eyeshadow was smudged beneath her right eye, but her mascara had stayed in
place.
“Omigod, Madison. I didn’t know who else to call, but
you’ll know what to do.”
“You did the right thing.” Madison was a Major Crimes
detective with the Stiles Police Department. Troy could have tagged along, as
he was also a detective for the department, but his primary role was leader of
a SWAT team. Solving murders was her thing. “Where is she?”
“In the shed. I’ll take you there.” Estelle led the
way to a side gate next to the garage. Her hand was shaking as she worked the
latch.
Madison followed Estelle down a concrete sidewalk
toward the backyard. “How did you find her?”
“There’s supposed to be an open house.” Estelle spoke
over her shoulder. “I was making sure the property looked good.” Estelle
stopped and hoisted a chain-link gate at the end of the walk that was hinged on
the fence and wedged against the brick of the garage.
To the right was a deck, and ahead was a manageable
yard. The rear of the lot was framed by mature cedars and a chain-link fence.
There was another gate back there, and it appeared open.
Estelle pointed to a shed with a concrete foundation
and beige siding. It was about twelve feet wide and
twenty feet long.
“She’s in there.” Estelle
shivered. “I can’t believe this is happening.”
