SECRETS of a COASTAL TOWN: A Fiona Storm Mystery

Twenty-five years ago, a tragic childhood accident sent lawyer Fiona Storm from her home in a small town on the coast of North Carolina to a new life in New York City. Finally, the good memories of her early years, competing for the space the bad ones are trying to occupy, win the battle. When Fiona’s uncle, her only surviving relative recovering from a stroke, begs her to come home, join his law practice, and help him investigate the rumors of treasure buried during the Civil War on his property. Refusing to concentrate on her feelings of anxiety, she has reservations about leaving New York and her law firm. When bad thoughts creep into her mind, she finally agrees to return to North Carolina. The night she arrives, her fears come true when she discovers her uncle murdered. She vows to hunt for the killer. Adding to the mystery, the resident ghost of a soldier from the Civil War appears on the first night. The apparition assists Fiona in her search when he provides clues to the secrets of the mysterious treasure and hints of the identity of the murderer. She divulges what she learns from him to the local authorities and others who are searching for the truth. When Fiona meets FBI Agent Jake McCloud, she tries to convince him she should be part of the investigation. Impressed with her knowledge and unaware a ghost is providing her with information, he finally agrees she may be very valuable in the hunt for answers. He is persuaded to let her help as long as she follows his instructions. As Fiona and Jake put the murder puzzle pieces together, a deep friendship develops that neither can deny. —- ISBN: 9798329110128
