A son’s attempted suicide shocks his family, uncovering a lifelong secret and the mother’s tale of early love, rivalry, and betrayal.

Although years have whittled away at the weight of the secret and nearly buried it, the tragic attempt gives it new meaning and compels the mother to tell her children of her past.

Determined to give her family as normal a life as possible, she devotes her life to them. Her children find her caring and solicitous as a parent, but bland as a person, who has limited her interests to her family. Now, she must bare her inner soul to them.

As a young woman, she suffers from her knotty relationships with her own mother and her aunt, but her passion for the piano saves her from the ravages of a repressed childhood and shattered dreams.

Her children learn about a consuming first love at the root of her secrets—a love that suffers a sad ending, but gives her strength to move on. She grows into someone comfortable enough with herself to look forward to the future.

Fortuitous encounters at a concert hall and at a music store present her a second chance at happiness with the man she eventually spends her life with. That man is their father. But does she ever forget that compelling first love?

The last person seventeen-year-old Eleanor Livingston wants to see on the elevator—let alone get stuck with—is her ex-boyfriend Travis, the guy she’s been avoiding for five months.

Plagued with the belief that when she speaks the truth, bad things happen, Elly hasn’t told Trav anything. Not why she broke up with him and cut off all contact. Not what happened the day her father returned from his deployment to Afghanistan. And certainly not that she misses him and still thinks about him everyday.

But with nowhere to hide and Travis so close it hurts, Elly’s worried she won’t be able to contain her secrets for long. She’s terrified of finally revealing the truth, because she can’t bear to watch a tragedy befall the boy she still loves.

A Christian Mystery Novel

When Leo Westmacott’s wheelchair rattles through the door at Gauss Home orphanage late one night, nobody is expecting him—but then, a night ago nobody was expecting to find the assistant superintendent brutally murdered, either.

Twenty years later, the last thing Rachel Slaytor expects is the woman who once tried to murder her to show up on her doorstep—dead . . .

Now nobody knows what to expect next.

1902. The life of little, unwanted Rachel will be changed forever when Leo Westmacott comes to Gauss Home to solve a baffling murder and stop a ruthless killer—before Rachel becomes the second victim.

1920. Rachel’s all grown up, but childhood ghosts persistently haunt her. When a corpse from her past appears all too unexpectedly in her bedroom, Leo takes the case, whirling his loyal assistant Pattrick undercover to discover what secrets can tie an old murder and an even older jewel theft to the dead woman’s friends—and enemies.

2014. Author Caleb Peiffer teams up once again with his antiquated sleuth, Leo Westmacott, to bring us another wholesome old-fashioned imbroglio in Gone Like the Shadow, contemplative and puzzling to the very end.
