About the Book
A MURDER HAS BEEN COMMITTED!
Paralegal, Kitty Canavan and Officer Shelly Monroe are joined by police detectives, Paul Hoffman and Dave Johnson. Together, they must find motive, means and perpetrator before time runs out and a cold case is filed away.
In a matter of just a few days, leads turn into complicated twists and turns, so tightly wound, it's almost impossible to unravel the plot. And, when emotions are added to the mixture, the pathway to end of the perverbial tunnel, sends the foursome in the direction of a totally different route. Especially when, there are others, who are unseen, confusing the clues.
And, WHO, is the mysterious stranger in the khaki jacket and dark blue baseball cap with the symbolic emblem on the front of it?! Could Saul Terrence, the Officer's rescuer, shed any light on the person's identity? Or, maybe, Gordon Moses, the bartender on duty that first fateful night, might know more than he is letting on ... about EVERYONE!
WHO'S "Sins To Bear", ARE DEADLY?!
About the Author
A self-observation
A native born Minnesotan, I have been fascinated by story telling. I remember my mother talking about how I would always make up stories and tell them with feeling, even before I could read and write.
My academic training gave me opportunity and means to learn the trade. After learning to read and write, I sought out classes that would teach me how to create my own works, I couldn't get enough of the thrill of writing stories.
I had a natural talent which presented itsself everywhere I had to create information. That included my English classes, in grammar school on through my literature and journalism classes in Junior High and High School. Starting with grammar school, in fifth grade, I wrote a three-act play that my teacher, Mr. Peterson, was so deeply impressed with, he attained permission from the Wayzata School Board for me to produce, direct and star in the production. Just for my class, though. The School Board drew the line at performing it for the whole school. Stating the reason as being, the other children would be unfairly over looked.
In High School, my Journalism teacher and the school councelor were so impressed with my natural talent and skill, they encouraged me to get a part-time job at the local newspaper, The Minneapolis Star & Tribune, so that I could become a reporter by the time I graduated from High School.
Due to family obligations, I had to put my career pursuit on hold, but, continued to take classes to develop my skills. During one such isolated class, my magazine article was chosen as a teaching "tool" for a local school magazine. Since then, I have written two Star Trek episodes, but, the shows were cancelled as my scripts were enroute.
Sincerely,
Cindy Davids
