Former cop Raine Holloway has barely settled into her new career as a private detective when a desperate woman hires her to find her missing twin brother.
The handyman vanished three days before while making several calls in one of Portland, Maine’s most exclusive suburban neighborhoods. His clients claim they know nothing. His trail has gone stone cold. The deeper she digs, the more she questions. Someone isn’t telling the truth.
As she follows the clues, Raine discovers that a simple missing-person case may hide something much darker.
Her investigation already keeps her busy. Renovating the 1800s apartment building she inherited keeps her broke. And the ghost she recently discovered inside the building keeps her wondering if she inherited more than property.
With danger, secrets, a touch of the paranormal, and a determined ex-cop who persists in asking questions, Raine’s latest case will keep you turning the pages.
Twisted Intent is the second novella in the Healy House Mystery series. A two hour read.
