Sanctuary
Stones
Judy Comer Franklin
In "Sanctuary Stones," solving
the 40 year old mystery of a young girl's death, supposedly by a botched abortion, isn't what May Scott had in mind when
she rented the English cottage on-line. Her idea was to have a vacation in a peaceful, beautiful and safe place where crime
and criminals wouldn't be something she would have to deal with.
As a soon
to be retired detective with the Las Vegas Metro Police, all she wants is time alone where she can begin to put the painful
memories of the recent murder of her best friend and mentor behind her.
May is
intrigued by the countryside and the village where she is staying, which is in the vortex of Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury.
The "old ways" of the goddess are alive and well May discovers, as she hears varying accounts of how the teenager died. That
explains why, the villagers assure her, the flaxen haired and blue-eyed face that May has seen in the bathroom mirror of the
rented cottage has made the area a ghost hunters favorite.
As a series
of unexplained deaths begins, each related in some way to the young girl who died in the mid-60's, May and the local
detective constable work together to unravel the tangled web that 40 years of legend and lies has created. JMC Publishing,
