- Synopsis
- A small town ex-cop and former monk searches for a missing movie star in this debut mystery—“Readers will enjoy the wind ride” (Publishers Weekly). Frank Raven used to be a lot of things—a monk, a cop, a private detective, and a hard drinker. Now he doesn’t do much except run a funky old movie theater in bucolic Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, dance with a local Morris dancing troupe, and record bird songs on his phone. But when wunderkind movie director Nick Mooney brings his Hollywood film crew to town, he needs someone to protect his star: the wild, gorgeous, and prodigiously talented twenty-one-year-old Juliana Velvet Norcross, aka VelCro. After reluctantly taking the job, Raven discovers there is more to VelCro than her rebel image. On the eve of filming, as a fierce storm floods the river running through town, she probes the former monk for his thoughts on God, love, and the soul. Then, just as filming begins, VelCro is swept away by the raging river. Did she fall? Did she jump? Was she pushed? Now Raven will have to resume more than one of his previous roles as his search for VelCro uncovers dirty secrets lurking beneath the Hollywood gloss.
