It’s 1938, and it’s time for the beautiful and dangerous Mary Elizabeth Laverneaux to return to her home in Moultrie, Georgia. This time, though, she must first escape the clutches of Jeb Collins before she reunites with her little girl.

A year earlier, she had made the decision to leave her husband Reggie Laverneaux and her daughter Carlee for the arms of Jeb Collins—a treacherous and unpredictable con man.

After living on the run with Collins and his cold-blooded cohort in crime, Jack Benion, Mary Elizabeth makes another potentially deadly decision—run away from Collins with $20,000 of his own ill-gotten cash.

Unfortunately, though, Collins is a predator stalking his prey, and Mary Elizabeth looks to be on the menu.

With two furious men on her trail, Mary Elizabeth seeks shelter under her maiden name, but murder soon finds its way to those near her and a narrow escape leaves her reeling.

Eventually, she connects with her jilted and soon-to-be ex-husband Reggie at Whispering Pines, the former plantation and generational home of the Laverneaux family. Reggie is infuriated and forbids her from seeing Carlee. Now, caught between the wrath of Reggie and Collins, her actions quickly become chaotic and reckless.

Ultimately, the hunter becomes the hunted when Collins himself is pursued by two aggressive detectives, Bill Mason and Cal Druggins. Isolated and running out of time, Collins kidnaps Carlee and uses her as bait to lure Mary Elizabeth out of hiding. Will they rescue Carlee before he goes too far?

“Howard Gleichenhaus creates a pursuit-fueled tale of suspense that will leave readers gasping for breath between pages,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “With a nail-biting style similar to that of author James Grippando in Born to Run, Whisper in the Pines: Secrets of the Heart takes the reader on an extremely satisfying white-knuckle ride.”
