Between You and Me — Gregory Ashe

Hunting a killer is scary. Talking about your feelings is scarier.

Dashiell Dawson Dane is certain the universe is conspiring against him. After all, things have been good -- almost too good -- for way too long. He's got a great group of friends. He's writing regularly. And things with Bobby seem like they might, maybe, possibly be moving beyond friend territory. It's all so good, in fact, that it feels like the setup for something truly catastrophic. Not to mention, it's the weekend before Valentine's Day.

So, when Dash and his friends visit Shipwreck Shores, a local amusement park, he's not terribly surprised when he stumbles across a body in the fun house. The surprising part comes when the body disappears before park security -- or the sheriff -- can see it. And while no one will say it to his face, some people in Hastings Rock seem to suspect Dash is making it up.

No body means no official investigation, so Dash finds himself forced into his own search for answers. But the killer isn't done yet. And Dash's sleuthing sets the two of them on a collision course.
