The Loser Mysteries

Killing Silence, the first of The Loser Mysteries, presents a unique protagonist: Loser, who sleeps on the streets of Richmond, Virginia, washes up in gas station bathrooms, eats when an opportunity comes along, and spends her waking hours in front of the local drug store, watching the world pass by and speaking less than thirty words per day. When a child is murdered and Loser finds herself in the company of the prime suspect, can she pull herself out of her own pain to help catch a killer?

To escape the attention focused on "the Homeless Hero" after her experiences in Book 1 ( Killing Silence), Loser returns to the town in the mountains of West Virginia where she lived as a girl. There, she keeps to herself until Nadine, a former foster sister, shows up on her doorstep, scared and desperate. The next morning she's gone, leaving behind her teenaged son Eddie.

Beth Lousiere, once known as Loser, learns there’s new evidence concerning the murders of her husband and daughter three years ago. The crimes, along with suspicion that she was responsible, sent Beth into such despair that she lived on the streets of Richmond, Virginia, for almost a year, lost in grief and pain. Somewhat recovered though still plagued by insecurity and odd phobias, Beth returns to Richmond to face the past. Soon, she’s the suspect in a new murder of a woman who might have been involved with her husband.
