9. Vanished: A Kate Killoy Mystery - eBook

Mei Lin didn’t know which would kill her first … the 98-degree heat turning the old car into an oven or the two men in a black sedan following her.

      This ninth Kate Killoy Mystery begins when Mei Lin Chen, driven by desperation and fear, arrives at Kate Killoy's doorstep in Connecticut, suffering from extreme heat and exhaustion. Kate, heavily pregnant but surrounded by a supportive team, including her husband Harry, and former FBI agent Deshi Xiang learns that Mei Lin is seeking help finding her missing brother. Someone kidnapped Zhi Peng, a bioengineer, because of his knowledge of illicit drug activities linked to his employer's pharmaceutical company.

Woven throughout this tale is humor, the fast action of the dogs that populate this series, the imminent birth of Kate’s twins, and the threat from COVID that restricts them. As the team delves deeper, they uncover unsettling connections between Zhi Peng's disappearance, the pharmaceutical company, and a lethal new drug causing the deaths of high school students.

       Vanished is a mix of high-stakes action, and emotional revelations, and is a testament to the power of teamwork and resilience, woven together with personal sacrifice, the complexities of justice, and the endurance of bonds forged in adversity. The story will grab you and take you on a wild ride.
