Join us in welcoming author Kathleen Ernst back to Books & Company for her new novel, Flood Waters Rising, the 12th book in the Chloe Ellefson mystery series! Ernst will have a presentation and a book signing to follow.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
When a flood threatens vulnerable collections at Villa Louis State Historic Site, Chloe travels to southwest Wisconsin to help site staff haul endangered artifacts to higher ground. The elegant Villa Louis is not in danger, but a nearby museum dedicated to the region’s fur trade history will certainly be submerged.
Before the work can begin, the discovery of a body in the Fur Trade Museum jeopardizes the artifact rescue plan. Chloe’s worried husband, police sergeant Roelke McKenna, soon arrives to assist. As the floodwaters creep ever higher, he and Chloe realize that inexplicably, they have become targets themselves. Working together, they struggle to identify a killer…and stay alive.
