Not all monsters come from the dark. Some live in the broad light of day, calling themselves family, friends, neighbors. The people you think you know best could be hiding deep secrets. The worst part is how many of these monsters hide themselves in plain sight, lying in wait for their nearest opportunity. Over the years, I have learned that monsters are just like us: they adapt and survive and, over time, they hone their skills. 

My name is Saira Dustin. I am a homicide investigator with the Metro Area Creature Coalition, a secret task force devoted to the fantastical creatures that most people believe to be fiction. We work on cases that regular police cannot understand.

When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family. The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner! Content Warning: This story does contain depictions of stalking behavior.
