The Swan Lake Murders: A Mary Wandwalker Mystery

“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 dislikeable 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.
