Only by Death

Mercy killing—or ruthless murder?

After much agonizing, Liam Berne takes his mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's, to the Sure Foot River, where he coaxes her into the water and drowns her. A mercy killing, he tells himself, to spare her years in a nursing home. And getting his inheritance early isn't a bad thing either.
Dixie Berne's body is recovered, and the coroner can't find any sign of foul play, though others aren't convinced. When Liam discovers a child witnessed the drowning, what he's willing to do shocks even him.
But unbeknownst to Liam, someone else suspects him—someone who intends to make him pay.
