Description
Nine Years
It is almost a decade since Duluth said goodbye to its innocence. The city creeps ever closer to the anniversary of the year in which it found itself both gripped by murder and united in terror. It was during that year that the pillar of its community, DS Jonathan Stride, had his home and heart torn to ribbons by the claws of cancer.
Nine Lives
Cat Mateo, an orphan with a knack for landing on her feet, has bid farewell to a life on the streets. This once-stray teenager owes her rescue to Detective Stride, the father figure she holds close to her heart. But Cat holds something else to her chest — a secret whose sheer power she cannot possibly comprehend.
Once revealed, it will not only reopen Duluth's still-healing wounds but will force DS Jonathan Stride to abandon his convictions about the events nine years ago and confront his darkest fears.
