Izzy Santos’ new job as Rocky Harbor’s head detective is off to a rocky start when her Aunt Maggie is struck by a car and is laid up with a broken leg. On that same day, the wife of Officer Gabe Fox is in a coma after falling off a cliff. To top it off, Rocky Harbor has another murder for her to solve—a body with missing hands.
Before Izzy has a chance to process the facts of the murder, a second handless body is found—a teenage girl. When the body of a high school Spanish teacher is discovered with a missing hand, the small coastal community erupts in fear and growing anger.
Kylie, Gabe's teenage daughter, seems to have a motive for all the killings but something just isn't adding up for Izzy as she scrambles to find the killer before they strike again.
"The second book in the Izzy Santos series, When Plan A Fails is a tense and fast-paced thriller with a smart and engaging young detective facing her second big case." — Carrie Bedford, author of The Kate Benedict Mystery series

Diana Corbitt is a retired elementary school teacher who has lived her entire life in northern California. She has two sons who, although grown up and out of the house, still live nearby. Ever since she was a kid she loved to be scared, either by movies or books. She started writing her first story in sixth grade. That one never got past six pages, but now that she’s retired she can’t stop writing. Her work has appeared in Bewildering Stories and Encounters Magazine. She had a podcast on Manor House and one of her short stories was published in an anthology entitled Wax and Wane: A Gathering of Witch Tales. When she’s not trying to scare herself silly, Diana enjoys working with stained glass, travel, and going to the movies. They don’t all have to be scary. Just not chick flicks.
