Beyond Blood by Sharon A Crawford, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Dana Bowman has misgivings about starting the home-based Attic Investigative Agency with her fraternal twin, Bast Overture. Especially when the agency's launch is preceded by a break and enter downstairs and a kidnapping at the Mini-Mall involving her son David's babysitter, Debbie Sangwell. Especially when David is kidnapped and Debbie is murdered during the agency's opening ceremonies. Further digging reveals more kidnappings, murders, fraud, and abortion. The twins' investigation also leads to run-ins with police detective Donald Fielding and CKNT TV reporter Charles Haas, the latter who has the "dirt" on Bast. A colourful cast of characters dot the pages, including Dana's ex-husband Ronald, Great Aunt Doris, Mini-Mall merchants Lois and Ray Chalmers, and various nosy neighbours. Hovering in the background is the mysterious "Him." Dana is pushed beyond blood ties in trying to avoid an emotional meltdown as a mother and focus on finding her son. The twin detectives discover that everything seems to be connected somehow. Which connection will lead them to David, and to Debbie's murderer? Will they be too late for David? | Beyond Blood by Sharon A Crawford, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
