Plowed Under — Irene Radford

Buried Secrets Running the Whistling River Inn and Golf Resort should be getting easier for Glenna McClain now that the Board of Directors has purchased a sixty acre clear cut to expand the golf course. But when she arranges for an organization of steam tractor enthusiasts to pull the stumps with their ancient machine monsters, no one expected them to unearth a skeleton; an old skeleton with a noose around its neck and a bullet hole in the head. Is it Aloysius Whistler, the founder of the lodge who committed suicide on black Friday in 1929? Or a more recent murder? All the publicity Glenna carefully arranged to cover the tractor pull becomes a feeding frenzy that brings in semi-retired IRA assassins, an ATF agent, and elusive Mob representatives, all with agendas to prove they had nothing to do with an antique murder. Glenna and her sexy security chief, Craig Knudsen, have to figure out the old scheme as well as new crimes to keep the reputation of the lodge in good order. But will Glenna's reluctance to commit to a new relationship be overcome by Craig or the equally attractive ATF agent?
