The Phaedra Chronicles - The Box: Female-driven Detective Mystery - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

New relationships can be a challenge, especially when one person wants to

move forward, but the other wants to hold onto the status quo. That’s what Tyler

told me our problem had become.

He was heading out on the 2-month long farewell tour for his metal band

Eros, and I was left with no work from SIA, the investigations company I work

for, feeling seriously uncertain about my ongoing career as a PI.

Amidst all that, Ty and I had been having contentious episodes, which

added to the anxiety over my future. I didn’t need him pushing me to make

decisions I wasn’t ready to make. I dug in my heels…but so did he.

And then my brother Nick delivered a trunk that I’d inherited from my

great aunt Mary - a trunk I’d never before bothered to open. It contained items

from her time working for the OSS after World War 2 as part of the Monuments,

Fine Arts & Archives Section G-5, going through a trove of items stolen by the

Nazis in an effort to return those items to their rightful owners.

But the trunk contained a mystery that Aunt Mary had uncharacteristically

stolen from the salt mine repository at Altaussee where she worked, and she’d left

it to me, convinced that I would be able to solve that mystery, at the same time

warning me of someone’s obsession with obtaining it by whatever means

necessary. But decades after she’d taken it, who could possibly still be alive to

carry out their obsession?

That’s how I came to be in possession of the enigmatic copper box with a

distinctive design on its top and no visible means of opening it.

It was going to require all my investigative skills, my tenacity, and my

dogged curiosity to solve the mystery of The Box.

But was I being unnecessarily paranoid, like Tyler was accusing me of, or

was my gut instinct correct - that someone, so many years later, did indeed want

that damned box desperately?

Well, that wasn’t going to stop me!
