The Deep End (Casey Holland Mystery) - Softcover

Praise for The Deep End: "The fourth Casey Holland Mystery ... is an enjoyable tale starring a caring, nice (perhaps too nice) heroine who suffers bumps and bruises while working two violent cases. Harder for Casey than the assault on her body is the "attack" on her mind by her ward. Readers will dive into The Deep End even with no water in the pool." --Harriet Klausner, #1 Hall of Fame Amazon Reviewer Praise for the Casey Holland Mystery Series: "Well-written series that grows on you ... honest, straight-ahead plotting ... Debra Purdy Kong uses her writing edge to bring it all together for the climax." --The Hamilton Spectator

Transit security officer Casey Holland's latest assignment -- to monitor a group of teens riding the M5 bus after shoplifting sprees -- spirals out of control when the kids attack her and her colleagues. Compounding Casey's stress are the manipulative boy her 13-year-old ward, Summer, is dating, and the intense volunteer work she's doing at Fraserview Youth Custody Center. Casey's shocked to find a friend's grandson, Justin, inside the center. Shock turns to horror when the facility's director suffers a fatal heart attack in front of her. A second death and rumors of illegal activity at Fraserview make Casey wonder whether Justin is part of the problem or a potential victim. As Casey deals with troubled teens on all fronts, the escalating violence could change her and Summer's lives forever. Who will live and who will die? The fourth installment in Debra Purdy Kong's Casey Holland Mystery series will keep readers guessing right to the end.
