by Cordy Fitzgerald

In Cordy Fitzgerald’s new mystery, former schoolteacher and amateur sleuth Dr. Inez Buchanan is surprised by a strange visit from her neighbor, Dolly David. Dolly needs Inez’s help. Years ago, Dolly’s granddaughter, Kadija Campbell, went missing from her college campus in Fort Collins, Colorado. The police believed that Kadija was dead, but Dolly has always held out hope. A mysterious phone call reinforces her belief that Kadija is alive and hints that she is being held in Afghanistan.

Although Inez’s heart goes out to the distraught grandmother, she doesn’t believe she can do anything to help with the case. Then, Dolly dies in a mysterious accident and leaves Inez as the executor of her estate. Dolly was worth billions of dollars, and Inez knows that her last wish would be for Inez to find Kadija at any cost.

Inez’s friend and FBI contact, Trace Mitchell, believes Kadija may be working as a spy in a terrorist cell. In the adventure that follows, Inez connects Kadija’s disappearance with strange happenings in the Middle East. There are powerful people who know more about the young woman than they are letting on, and they’ll find Inez a force to be reckoned with!
