The violent abduction of a prominent socialite shatters the peace in sleepy Ashwood. As dawn breaks, it increases the anxiety of the community
Jet Rider, an ex-Navy SEAL and Melody’s neighbor, spots a suspicious van. His concerns fall on deaf ears at the complacent police department, forcing him to take action.

Time is running out. The stakes are life and death. Can Jet unravel the web of secrets and save Melody before it’s too late? Or will his unauthorized investigation put them both in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal enterprise?
The clock is ticking…

5.0 out of 5 stars: I loved it
I couldn’t put it down. The story started out with a stolen phone, but went on from sloppy bookkeeping to fraud, and needing the services of forensic accountants. It wasn’t a murder mystery, but it kept you guessing and on your toes.
3.0 out of 5 stars: brief but promising
This mystery novella had a few twists and turns. I would have liked more character development though.
Note: This was the beginning. Still in the learning process. No excuse but have to be honest with my readers. It could have been better LM but it is what it is. I have since learnt from it and you will find the subsequent publications and stories very worth while. Silas Storm.
