Set in the fictional mountain town of Marion, Washington, Of Hearts and Murder: A Cascade Shadows Mystery, introduces readers to private investigator Cal Walker and marks the beginning of a series blending cozy-mystery ambience with emotional depth and Cold War-tinged intrigue. Benton's debut novel is a rich, character-driven mystery that explores love, legacy, and the price of second chances, told with a blend of suspense, emotional depth, and wry humor. When Cal Walker returns to Marion, a small town nestled in the Cascade Mountains, he’s just trying to settle family affairs and leave quietly. But when a local developer turns up dead and a reformed criminal vanishes without a trace, Cal is pulled into an investigation that threatens to unravel the town’s carefully hidden past. Teaming up with Officer Inga Wells, Cal uncovers whispers of a chilling Cold War–era artifact as dangerous as anything ever devised. As more clues emerge—secret phone calls and tripwires, dangerous, long- forgotten laboratories and an exotic poison—Cal is entangled in a mystery where the past never stays buried. Author Bio R. K.
