Book
Description by Author:
After suffering a horrific loss, Nat and Abi
must try to piece their lives together, build a future, and repair the past.
But before they can figure out their own complicated relationship, they must
unite to help Jake find his children—no easy task, since their mother has
disappeared, and they’ve been left with a priest who is bent on giving them away!
In a maelstrom of grief, anger, and legal
complications, one of Abi’s friends, Dr. Vida Cadwallader, also a female
Pinkerton, steps up to help. As Vida tries to help The Innocents make sense of
what’s happening, she soon becomes embroiled in mysterious happenings within
the brutal insane asylum where she consults part-time. When one of her
colleagues is murdered, Vida quickly becomes a suspect.
With no time to lose, Vida, Abi, Jake, and
Nat band together to free one of the asylum’s unwilling patients who may hold
the key to all their unanswered questions—if she only lives long enough to
survive the escape. Now, with an unknown murderer on the loose as well, time is
running short for them to find the children, solve the crime, and spirit the
patient away to safety. Can they keep their necks out of the noose and buy
enough time to solve the mystery shrouding their lives? Can anyone make sense
of this world of shadows, darkness, and madness?
About
the Author:
C.A.
Asbrey is a writer of mysteries, and a fan of all things Victorian and obscure.
A former member of law enforcement in Scotland, she developed a deep interest
in early forensics and detection methods, particularly during the 19th Century,
working in the field. This extensive research into early detectives and the
tools available to them acted as the foundation for developing the characters
in her The Innocents Mystery Series. She likes her mysteries twisty, complex,
and intricate; through a fog of history and a touch of light humor.
