LOST DISTINCTION" (Jordan James PI Book Two)
“It all started with a favor…”
When private investigator Jordan James agreed to search for the
missing son of a U.S. Ambassador, she didn’t realize she was walking into a
case one hundred years in the making. The deeper she delves into this unusual
assignment, the more shocking, and the more dangerous, it becomes. With time
running out and lives at stake, Jordan must race to identify the culprit of an
elaborate plot while also uncovering a far more personal truth too intimate to
ignore . . .

EXCERPT
“So, when was the last time you saw Arthur?” I asked as the guys
cheered when one of Stuart’s sons scored a touchdown with George’s help.
Michelle stared past the men. “I guess the last time I saw him
was at Easter. Since Mr. and Mrs. Cross couldn’t make it back from London in
time, we went over to Stuart’s house in Falmouth. I was surprised to see him
there.”
“Why? Does he usually avoid family holidays?”
She clapped when Rick carried one of the twins over the “goal
line” for a touchdown. She looked back at me and shrugged. “To be honest, I
haven’t seen Arthur many times in all the years I’ve been married to Eddie. He
lives and works in Middletown but just always seems too busy to come around.
Eddie never gave me specifics, but I think Arthur tries to stay away from his
family for some reason.”
“He didn’t say why?”
“No,” she shook her head. “Can’t say I blame him…”
I found myself more confused every time I learned more about
this situation. As I sat there, I considered all the things I knew as fact.
First, Arthur Cross was missing and had been missing for several days. Second,
his family was concerned enough about his disappearance that they felt it
necessary for his parents to fly in from London, but they did not want to
involve the police as it might generate unwanted publicity. Third, they were
going to a lot of trouble pretending like nothing was wrong.
I looked across the yard and saw the Crosses watching their
children and grandchildren with absolute enjoyment. The last thing I knew was
by far the most troubling fact of all. As I sat there, it became crystal clear
that this family was hiding a secret. What I didn’t know at the time was how
great the secret was and how many lives its revelation would affect, including
my own.
