Description by Author:
Nat, Abigail, and Jake are hot on the trail
of the mysterious man behind the scenes who orchestrated the murder of baby
Ava. Determined to bring her killer to justice, they are prepared to do
whatever they must, no matter where the clues lead. Rebecca, an attractive
newspaper woman investigating the same deadly gang of criminals brings
complications into the mix for their plans—and for Jake’s heart.
With a slew of hired killers on their tails,
the stars align when they bump into Nat and Jake’s old gang, The Innocents, in
the midst of a train robbery. They strike a reluctant deal with The Innocents
to take refuge in their old hideout at Ghost Canyon—at a price. Abi’s ability to
break into a new type of armored car, one containing a rumored “golden boy”
statue, gains them their refuge and buys them some very limited time.
When the hired killers show up at Ghost
Canyon, there’s hell to pay with the surprise attack Nat has devised. If Jake
survives, will he be able to find peace—and love—with his heart’s desire, at
last? Can Nat and Abi deliver retribution for the death of their young
daughter?
In a story filled with surprise villains,
unexpected love, and gut-wrenching action, these twists and turns keep Nat,
Abi, and Jake INNOCENT TO THE LAST…
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.
