Mary BurtonDear Readers,

gif Check out the cover for my next novel, DYING SCREAM, is scheduled for release in December 2009!  DYING SCREAM features missing person’s detective Gage Hudson, who never considers a case closed until it's solved. When the two-year-old remains of a missing woman are found in an unmarked grave , Hudson turns to the prime suspect's widow Adrianna Barrington, a woman the detective once loved and lost.

And remember when you pick up a copy of DYING SCREAM there are two other novels and a novella that precede it in the series. The novels are I’M WATCHING YOU and DEAD RINGER and the novella is Christmas Past in the SILVER BELLS anthology with Fern Michaels, JoAnn Ross and Judy Duarte.

combine to make Mary Burton's Dead Ringer a chilling thriller.”
—Beverly Barton, New York Times bestselling author

"A giftedly executed storyline...DEAD RINGER plays out superbly,
as evidence and inquiries lead to a startling conclusion."
—SingleTitle.com

"Very suspenseful! Crazy, jealous people reaching out to remove all
happiness from other lives. Excellent characters with such
a range of emotions all make this a great read."

"The story line is fast-paced from the moment Jacob makes his connection
and never slows down as Mary Burton cleverly keeps the audience wondering
who of her two prime suspects is actually the serial killer."
—Harriet Klausner's Review

* * *

"With many plot twists, and an ending that would make Hitchkock proud, Ms. Burton has a way of making even the most minor character come to life. I will make sure to read her first book as well - I'M WATCHING YOU. This is one author that is now on the top of my list for must reads. Wonderful! "

"Dead Ringer makes for compelling, compulsive reading. The characters spring from the page into our consciousness and, yes, concern. Again, I hope there will be a sequel. "
—Charlottesville Daily-Progress
