Circle of Influence / The Zoe Chambers Mysteries Bd.1 (ePub)

The USA Today-bestseller and Agatha Award finalist that introduces Zoe Chambers, "an authentic character who will entertain us for a long time" (Nancy Martin, author of the Blackbird Sister Mysteries).

Zoe Chambers, paramedic and deputy coroner in rural Pennsylvania's tight-knit Vance Township, has been privy to a number of local secrets over the years, some of them her own. But secrets become explosive when a dead body is found in the Township Board President's abandoned car.

As a January blizzard rages, Zoe and Police Chief Pete Adams launch a desperate search for the killer, even if it means uncovering secrets that could not only destroy Zoe and Pete, but also those closest to them.

"Dashofy takes small town politics and long simmering feuds, adds colorful characters, and brings it to a boil in a welcome new series." -Hallie Ephron, author of There Was an Old Woman

"An easy, intriguing read, partially because the townfolks' lives are so scandalously intertwined, but also because author Dashofy has taken pains to create a palette of unforgettable characters." -Mystery Scene

"New York has McBain, Boston has Parker, now Vance Township, PA ('pop. 5000. Please Drive Carefully.') has Annette Dashofy, and her rural world is just as vivid and compelling as their city noir." -John Lawton, author of the Inspector Troy Series
