My partner in crime and I collected the honey from the first colony we got about 50 years ago (1 year..just feels like 50) on Monday, and today we are ready to extract the honey from the comb. We decided to rent the extracting equipment since our attempts with other methods seemed very slow and tedious. It was cheap to do, so I think it will be well worth the cost. I am pretty excited about the whole process. This is what we have been waiting for for so long. When we collected the frames full of honey on Monday, I couldn’t stop sneaking little tastes, so now I am very excited to get some honey in the cute little jars and ready to give as gifts. People will have to wait until Christmas, but it tasted so good, it will be well worth the wait.

“In the fourth book of the Cleary Case Files series, Clark (Third Breath, 2014, etc.) brings back FBI Special Agent Shawn Cleary in a gripping blend of terrorism, serial killers, and even a little romance… A well-crafted thriller that manages to be both timely and timeless.” – Kirkus Reviews

This is the one you’ve been waiting for!!

FBI Agent Shawn Cleary has hunted twin serial killers Trevor and Mitchell Gant since the series began. Their final chess match involves multiple moves as it careens toward a heart-stopping confrontation.

Fourplay, Book Four of the Cleary Case Files, finds FBI Agent Shawn Cleary acting as both guardian and foil. Twin serial killers Trevor and Mitchell Gant have framed her, killed her grandmother, and stalked everyone she cares about with a vow to save her for last.

As Mitchell’s murder trial finally begins, Trevor lurks in the shadows doing everything he can to spring his brother. Nothing is off the table; hiring mercenaries to kidnap children, killing FBI agents, or tampering with the jury. The endgame for Mitchell leaves everyone stunned.

Terrorist threats and the ensuing chaos nearly overwhelm Shawn as she pursues perpetrators from Washington, D.C. to California and finally Alaska. Shawn and her cohorts rush to the scene of a cruise ship attack where the raging fires and climbing death toll create the perfect diversion for Trevor’s checkmate ploy that Shawn can’t possibly anticipate.
