Nightshade Cases

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. When transsexual starlet Aisling is murdered, Detective Geraldine Meyers is assigned the case. With help from medical examiner Dr. Rachel Hunter, Gerri realizes this is no ordinary killing. While she might not want to call in over-eager anthropologist Dr. Kinsey DanAllart, the detective is forced to trust her friend's expertise in symbology, even though doing so means admitting "weird" things might be happening in Silver City. As the three friends unravel the mystery of the dancer's death, one thing is made absolutely apparent--something isn't right in their new hometown. And someone is doing everything they can to make sure the truth doesn't come out. In Silver City, sometimes friendship can be murder.

Chapter 68

INT. - COLLECTIVE OF ALL SOULS OFFICE - EARLY EVENING

Gerri chewed the inside of her cheek raw by the time Kinsey parked her car on the street directly across from a high rise downtown. Uber modern, all glass and steel, it towered over them, the front of the building glowing with light, though most of the upper floors seemed to be in darkness already.

A simple flash of her badge at the watchman in the middle of the lobby got her access to the elevators. Kinsey selected the floor, somewhere around sixty-five. The placard on the wall claimed the ASC had ownership, the acronym's lack of subtlety not lost on Gerri even for a heartbeat. Especially when the logo for the "company" was a mesh of the six symbols all woven together.
