GUARDIANS INC.: THE CYPHER

A chance reading of a newspaper ad will send 16 year old Thomas Byrne into the world within our world.

Following the ad he will find Guardians Incorporated. A seven thousand year old organization charged with protecting the balance between Magic and technology.

Through their guidance technology has kept Magic at bay since the Renaissance, but the balance is shifting and soon all those creatures we’ve driven into myth and legend will come back with a vengeance.

To protect the present, Guardians Incorporated needs to know the future and to unlock the future they need a cypher.

Here’s the set-up:

In 1942, no one heard of a female private investigator. No one, but Persephone Cole, that is. She just might be New York City’s first female PI, blazing a trail for all other lady dicks to follow. What Percy has in common with gumshoes like Sam Spade, Phillip Marlow, and Dick Tracy is a hardboiled, take-no-prisoners attitude. The difference? Our sleuth has a wicked sense of humor, lives on the lower east side with her zany family, and is the mother of an eight-year old son, the child who gives her life meaning. At five foot eleven inches tall and a full-figured gal, she has a penchant for pistachio nuts, Marlene Dietrich pants suits, and tops her flaming red hair with men’s fedora hats. Using her noodle and a 1918 German Mauser pistol to get the job done, World War II’s Persephone Cole finds her holiday cheer in solving crimes of the most deadly kind – murder.

In late December, 1942, Persephone (Percy) Cole, one of Manhattan’s first female PIs, has been hired to find out who killed a Santa Land elf and left the body in the storefront window of a swank 5th Avenue jewelry store. Was it the spoiled heiress whose big buck handbag was found on the scene? Or was it the rat who broke out of the big house to settle a score? Shortly after, the corpse of the Christmas Angel is discovered stuffed in Mrs. Santa’s workshop. Will Santa Claus be next? With a penchant for Marlene Dietrich suits, pistachio nuts and fedora hats, this working mother finds diamonds to the left of her, diamonds to the right, and skullduggery aplenty. Armed with her noodle and a WW I German Mauser, Percy is determined to solve these crimes or it just might be the ‘kiss off’ for Christmas.

Someone’s out to stop the Broadway play, but Private Investigator, Persephone Cole, is bound and determined to find out who. After all, the show must go on. Ms Haven weaves a tale of suspense and humor with her new character. A must read! Roseanne Dowell, author

Don’t miss book one in this series, Persephone Cole and the Halloween Curse, now available from Books We Love
