‘THE FIVE CLUES’
Edie Marble Investigates
Written by Anthony S Kessel
Summary
One year after her mother’s sudden death, 13-year-old Edie Marble begins to suspect that the accident may not have been a simple case of bad luck. Following a series of clues, Edie gradually uncovers a sinister attempt to conceal the development of a lethal virus that could threaten the public’s health.
As the mystery unravels, Edie and her family — her dad, a doctor, and ten-year old Eli — are still desperately trying to come to terms with their personal tragedy. Like her mother, a human rights activist, Edie gets steadily drawn into a deadly web, while those responsible for the life-wrenching event are on Edie’s trail and closing in.
The Five Clues is a real-time murder-mystery thriller and family drama, combining an exciting chase against time with a moving examination of a young teenager learning to live with the loss of a beloved parent. The Five Clues, first book in the DON’T DOUBT THE RAINBOW series, is suitable for 11 to 16 year-old girls and boys.
