COMING IN THE FALL

Waterlillies Over my Grave

You can run, but you can’t hide.

In a spiraling fall into obsessive madness, psychiatrist Duncan
Byrne vows revenge against his ex-wife for divorcing him. When
she leaves New York, he reflects, “You can run, but you can’t
hide.”

Psychologist, Annabelle O’Brien begins a new life in the popular
resort town of Lake Nager, hoping to find peace and normality.
But anonymous threats follow, and Annie finds herself terrorized
by a stalker.

Burned-out Detective Mark Driscoll, detests the new psychologist
who recommends he take time-off. How dare she? But when
somebody slashes her tires, ransacks her apartment and kills her
cat, Mark spends his mandated furlough playing body guard.

They don’t count on falling in love; something neither wants, but
both need.

Nor

Women resembling Annie being murdered.

Fear becomes the summer slogan for Lake Nager.

In case anyone's wondering waterlillies can be spelled two ways.
Maybe even four.  These are the spellings I've found:
Water Lilies
Waterlilies
Waterlillies
Water lillies
In the Monet Painting I've seen, they've spelled it Waterlillies.
Since the cover is so impressionistic in nature, we chose to go that
way in our promotionals. The text, you will notice is spelled in the
traditional way: Water lilies
PIECE OF TRIVIA: JUST IN CASE YOU WANTED TO KNOW
