Kat Bird: A locked room mystery

Kat Carson, apprentice detective, and her boss Ernie Lunt, face another daunting mystery. Investigating the theft of a valuable ring, they’re suddenly challenged by a violent death. Kat, perceptive and tenacious, rejects the conclusion of suicide after a man dies of a gunshot in a locked room. To find the killer, she follows a trail of clues left by the victim: a treasure hunt based on Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven. The Richmond mansion is full of suspects: the disinherited half-brother; the victim’s secretary who was also his lover; the betrayed wife; the business partner saddled with a ruinous lawsuit; and the mysterious personal assistant with an unhealthy attachment to the Richmond family. As Kat follows the treasure hunt clues, she risks everything, including her life, to unearth the chilling mysteries hidden within the Richmond home.

Will her relentless pursuit of the truth lead her to the killer, or will the dark secrets of the past remain buried?
