It seemed like a simple project-make quilts for foster kids getting close to aging out of the system and teach them some useful skills as well. Granted, the foster parents aren't the most pleasant people, but Luke and Sincere and the others have already had tough lives and say they can handle it.Things get complicated, though, when a reality-TV show gets permission to film the kids and track down their relatives. Foster parent Paul Holloway is murdered, and the "relatives" the TV crew introduces are more than odd. Then, when the producer's assistant is killed, too, it's clear there's some deadly going on-and the kids are the targets. Attempted murder, theft, drug rings, battered women, death threats, and more sordid affairs than she could count were the more exciting experiences from Arlene Sachitano's nearly thirty years in the high tech industry.Prior to writing her first novel, Chip and Die, Arlene wrote the story half of the popular Block of the Month quilting patterns "Seams Like Murder" and "Seams Like Halloween" for Storyquilts.com, Inc. The second title in the Harley Spring mystery series, The Widowmaker, was published in 2009. She has also written a scintillating proprietary tome on the subject of the electronics assembly. In the small town of Foggy Point WA, Harriet Truman finds new friends and unexpected adventure as she and the ladies of the Loose Threads quilting group weave the threads of mystery.
