The Curse of Crawford Manor (The CaseFiles of the Sleuth of Sethalton, #1) / The CaseFiles of the Sleuth of Sethalton (ePub)

Death threats. A haunted mansion. Family blood feuds that span generations. And at last, murder.

Alexandra Whitfield, the Sleuth of Sethalton, is hired to investigate the mysterious goings-on at the home of the richest and most hated old man in the city, dying centenarian Jacob Crawford. Her partner, Eric "Bric the Handyman" Thompson, former professional wrestler turned bodyguard, reluctantly tags along. While there, they encounter a cadre of some of the worst villains in Sethalton, including a psychiatrist with questionable morals and a less-than-sterling reputation, his social climber of a wife, two narcissistic young women who seek to find their pleasure in causing the Sleuth pain, and a mysterious, ghostly, scarecrow-looking man who seems to be stalking the estate in order to pursue his own agenda. To make matters worse, the longer he stays on the estate, the more convinced Bric becomes that the whole place is haunted. He assumes the situation can't get any worse, but is proven quite wrong when disaster strikes, people start getting murdered, and his partner, Alex, the Sleuth of Sethalton, disappears. A frantic search begins.

Who has taken the Sleuth? Where has she been hidden? Has she left on her own volition? Can anything be done to save her? Or is it already... too late... ?

Join Eric "Bric the Handyman" Thompson & The Sleuth of Sethalton, Alexandra Whitfield, in a series of first-person action-adventure/mystery novels about a guy and a girl... … and a whooooole bunch of bad guys who want our heroes dead!
