December 7, 2026 – January 1, 2027 Virtual Book Tour
Synopsis:
A Rita Mars Thriller
GRACE CAIN SAT UNABLE TO MOVE, unable to speak. At last a scream rose in her throat until it resounded through the halls like a wail for the dead. A school staffer had released her child to an unknown woman.
When Attorney Patrick Dwyer invites his go-to PI, Rita Mars, to his office, she’s surprised he’s taken on a child custody case—and pro bono at that. This is a case that Patrick hungers to win and he clearly understands that Rita will feel the same. Even as his words describe the theft of a child from a mother, Rita experiences a familiar rage. Without hesitation, Mars commits to a case that will shove her into harm’s way from violent evangelicals; break her heart with stories of “conversion” therapy evils and bedevil her best efforts to access kidnapper plans. Time is running out and Rita is traveling blind on this one.
