The Swan Lake Murders

“Find me the dirt on a sorcerer…because he’s the reason I’m not prime minister!”

On the eve of a forecasted hurricane, private detective Mary Wandwalker goes to meet thoroughly dislikable minister Robin Prince to hear his gripe about a career-ruining sorcerer. Yet the minister fails to realize the real target is his teenage daughter, the star of Swan Lake, who is dancing dangerously close to evil magic.

When fifteen-year-old Irina disappears, Mary, two detectives, and the distraught parents follow the trail to Holywell, a center of witchcraft and healing. But murder follows them — and as the storm closes in, Holywell becomes both prison and sanctuary.

With a desperate killer in their midst, Mary must confront her demons alone as those she loves become the chief suspects. It takes a séance, another death, and a bolt of lightning before the story of Swan Lake can be revised. Because some fairytales are real, especially the legend of young women becoming swans.
