The Crossing (Devon West Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition


Introducing Devon West, a university professor who specializes in Shakespearean Lit and moonlights as a private investigator.

In his latest case, a young executive, Stephanie Henderson, goes missing after a trip to Cairo, while representing Hope Industries, an international, Christian-based charitable organization based out of Montreal.

It’s been two months since her disappearance and her father is desperate. The authorities are not taking her disappearance seriously, so he turns to West.

With the help of his friend and mentor, Detective Joe Cappelletti, of the SPVM, West unravels the dark secrets and true purpose behind Hope Industries' nefarious business empire.

As a special bonus, a sneak preview of the upcoming Fool's Overture, (Book #2) from the Devon West Mystery Series is included.
