When park rangers find Adam’s crumpled body 300 feet below the
rim of the Grand Canyon, they think he was one more careless
tourist. But back home in Boulder, Colorado, his grief-stricken wife
Sharon is sure he was murdered. She won’t rest until she knows
why he was so troubled in the month before he died. Over the
objections of her prominent father, she turns to grief therapist
Cleo Sims, who runs a project that re-unites people with dead
loved ones.
Despite threats and warnings, Cleo takes on the challenge to help
Sharon contact Adam and solve the mystery of his death. She
gets extra encouragement from Tyler, a surfer-dude spirit who
visits her from beyond, offers cryptic advice, and pushes her to
“ride the wave” with Sharon. In this hip mountain community where
high tech meets new age, their investigation involves suspects
whose activities range from traditional to cutting-edge to over-the-
rainbow.
Tension mounts as Cleo’s digging uncovers a sinister underbelly
of scams, fraud and deceit. Her professional reputation and her
life are on the line as she struggles to sort reality from illusion,
good from evil, and truth from deception.
Too Near the Edge is a character-driven mystery with a
paranormal twist, a humorous tone, and a whimsical heroine who
grapples with tough questions about love, reality, ethics and  trust.
