In just a few days, on October 4th, the explosive new mini-series BREAKDOWN will be released, beginning with book one, the dead girl by Debra Webb! Read on for an excerpt and to enter the weekly giveaway!
BREAKDOWN is a unique and groundbreaking four-book suspense series, written by four authors that will keep you turning pages until the killer is finally exposed.
Shutter Lake, nestled in the peaceful Sierra Nevada Mountains, is rocked by a shocking murder. Four women, friends who moved to the area to find healing and solace, must now dig deep and overcome the scars of past troubles to find a ruthless killer.
About the dead girl by Debra Webb
THE BREAKDOWN BEGINS… Former L.A. homicide detective Laney Holt walked away from big city crime after a shooting she couldn’t put behind her. With L.A. in her rear view mirror, she accepted the position of deputy chief of police in a small picturesque paradise called Shutter Lake. Nestled in a peaceful valley surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Shutter Lake is the perfect small town filled with pleasant, charming folks.
The crime rate in Shutter Lake is zero…at least until the dead girl is found. The shocking murder shakes the town to it’s very foundation.
Laney’s past comes back to haunt her as she delves into the investigation of who murdered beautiful, young Sylvia Cole. But Laney’s secrets aren’t the only ones revealed as one by one the cracks in this perfect town start to show and the facade of perfection slowly begins to breakdown.
A note from Debra
Growing up one of my favorite creepy movies was The Stepford Wives. When Regan Black, Vicki Hinze, Peggy Webb and I discussed the concept of writing a suspense mini-series that revolves around the “perfect” small town falling apart piece by piece, we wanted the women in our stories to be strong, determined and capable–we wanted the women to be the heroes! What we came up with are four amazing females who–no matter the wounds of their pasts–will stop at nothing to find the truth. So get ready for BREAKDOWN.
This four part mini-series will be released in full length novels starting with the dead girl on Thursday, October 4, 2018.
We’ll be celebrating each release every week as the series continues throughout October!

Enjoy this excerpt from the dead girl
Two years.
Apparently that was to be the extent of Deputy Chief Laney Holt’s reprieve in paradise.
Laney stared at the dead girl on the floor. How the hell did a beautiful young woman who had the perfect life in the perfect town get herself murdered?
Pushing to her feet, Laney turned to the uniform standing by. “Find McCabe.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Officer Seth Trask, the first on the scene, hustled out of the room. Their chief of police hadn’t answered his phone when Laney called him. Knowing his bad habits better than she cared to, it was a relatively simple matter to guess that he had likely over indulged last night. She hadn’t broached the subject with him, but in the course of working together for the past two years she couldn’t help noticing Shutter Lake’s chief of police had a deep and serious relationship with alcohol.
Laney listened for the front door to close behind Trask. When she heard the telltale sound of wood against wood her gaze settled on the victim once more. “Shit.”
The coffee she’d gulped down on the drive from Main Street to Olive Tree Lane churned in her belly. Typically she grabbed a bagel with her coffee, but this morning her cell had buzzed with the call about a body before she’d made up her mind whether she wanted a blueberry or a poppy seed bagel. Cream cheese or honey? Instead of a leisurely morning discussing any homeless folks who had taken up residence at the century old mine outside of town, she was analyzing the kind of scene she’d thought she left behind in LA.
