A killer heat wave settles over Seagull Lane…
Summer’s sizzling in Vista Beach, the home of computer programmer and tole-painting enthusiast Aurora (Rory) Anderson. The abnormally high temperatures are hard on everyone in the quiet Los Angeles county beach community, especially the city’s homeless population. Residents are doing everything they can to stay cool, including leaving windows open to catch the faintest breeze. Not the best idea when a string of burglaries is plaguing nearby towns.
Still, Rory doesn’t expect to find her neighbor’s body just a few doors down. When suspicion falls on a friend and fellow painter, Rory must discover the truth before the police paint the wrong picture and send her friend away permanently.

Sybil Johnson’s love affair with reading began in kindergarten with “The
Three Little Pigs.” Visits to the library introduced her to
Encyclopedia Brown, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and a host of other characters.
Fast forward to college where she continued reading while studying
Computer Science. After a rewarding career in the computer industry,
Sybil decided to try her hand at writing mysteries. Her short fiction
has appeared in Mysterical-E and Spinetingler Magazine, among others.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she now lives in Southern
California where she enjoys tole painting, studying ancient languages
and spending time with friends and family.
