My Other Dad

About the Book

Peter Linwood is dead, murdered in a Detroit alley hundreds of miles from home. No one knows what he was doing in that dark alley. Furthermore, who would want to kill a boring computer salesman … and why? His daughter, Ellie Linwood, now must put aside her graduate studies to find out what happened to her father.

Ellie finds an ally in Detroit Police Detective Emerson Smith. Together, they struggle to piece together Peter’s career using postcards he sent his daughter from every hotel he stayed in over the last twenty years. In the midst of their investigation, Ellie receives a mysterious note: “Here is the key to my favorite place. The reason I was killed is there. Your Uncle Max is the only person you can trust.”

The note is signed “Dad.” Even stranger, Ellie’s Uncle Max has been dead for two years. Peter’s murder soon explodes into a worldwide conspiracy, and the men behind it will sacrifice anything or anyone to stop Ellie from uncovering their plan. Can Ellie and Smith stay alive long enough to solve her father’s murder? And what happens when Ellie meets her “dead” Uncle Max face-to-face?
