What Simon Didn’t Say
by Joy M. Copeland

Attorney Zoie Taylor thinks that a move back to her hometown of Washington, DC, will make her life simpler. She gives up her high-powered position with a New York City law firm to work for a philanthropic organization. This change allows Zoie to spend more time with her daughter, best friend, and ailing grandmother.

However, Zoie’s new position leads to a strange mystery involving Washington’s homeless population, a local shelter, and Zoie’s enigmatic new beau, Jahi Khalfani. Jahi is passionate about helping those in need, but Zoie suspects that he is keeping secrets from her.

These suspicions lead her to investigate Jahi’s shelter and what she finds begins to trouble her. As Zoie delves deeper into a tangled web of deceit and greed, she keeps having chance encounters with a homeless man named Simon. Simon delivers strange warnings about Zoie’s adventures. Should she dismiss his ravings, or is there something more to this stranger?

When Zoie’s daughter disappears, this desperate mother will have to make an important decision about whom she can trust to see this mystery through to its shocking conclusion.
