When Puller is sent to a rural West Virginia town to investigate the execution-style murder of a military family, he is forced into a reluctant collaboration with the local authorities in the person of Detective Samantha Cole.

      Photo by Peter Thody
      For many visitors, Cannon Beach is the jewel in the crown of Oregon's stunningly beautiful coastline.

Even working as Lady Duff Gordon's maid might give Tess the opportunity to pursue her dream of ...
