The only light came from a street lamp that poured in through the bedroom window. Suddenly, something struck Annette as being very odd. If John Hilgert was sleeping, why wasn't there any sound... and breathing?

New faces at Ravensville High include the boy on the farm down the road, who has Annette in a quiver, and the new girl in her art class. Chris Hilgert's family problems soon lead Annette into involvement with murder and Sue Hilgert's psycho boyfriend. Will Chris and Sue's father turn out to be the famous landscape artist, Jean Ilgér?  And what is so special about that mysterious paint Chris talks about using for her art project?

Could she really be expected to remember to tell her son
that she had to work her way around an annoying dead
body to find her club gift? After all, the fact that Alma
remembered the gift at all should keep her friends from
thinking she is getting old...

As they probe this community of respectable but water-reliant individuals, can mellow Sheriff Pat Garrett and his firecracker deputy McCracken discover the killer of the low-life water thief found in Alma's shed?

"Karen Gallob knows rural Crawford in western Colorado right down to her toenails, and the result is this rollicking read about ladies and their deliciously gossipy neighborhood clubs, competition over water, clueless newcomers and, of course, the little problem of murder." — Betsy Marston, editor of Writers on the Range, High Country News

A gunshot reverberated in the air at the same time
a bullet sprayed dirt up from the ground just in front
of Annette. Glancing up, she saw Paulo Volivar sitting
on his horse at the edge of the cliff...

While visiting a ranch in the Cochetopa Hills of Colorado, Annette and her best friend, Penny, get more than they bargained for when their new friend, Mandy, leads them on horseback into forbidden territory. A missing professor, a suspicious yellow envelope, and a mysterious old mountain man are the ingredients for mystery, adventure and a spark of romance, in this Sixties era introduction to the Annette Vetter mystery series.

Danger, death and the unknown stalk two brave young
mountain men, yet never far away is the spectral eerie
presence of a mysterious White Bird.

He left his home in Pennsylvania at the age of 15, accompanied by his old Indian friend, Mr. Joe. When he reached Starved Rock the fall of 1818, he'd already killed three men. Finding refuge in a blacksmith's stable, young Nathan saved every penny he earned to make his way west. At 17, he set out with his partner, a runaway slave, in their quest for beaver and a life of freedom in the untamed West.
