Knight Blind

Family secrets. Disappearing informants. Can this PI prove her worth…or will she get caught in the crossfire?

Jorja Knight is desperate for a fresh start. Reinventing herself after a brutal workplace shooting, she’s determined to make   her name as a private investigator. But her first major case searching for a Holocaust survivor’s long-lost relative goes  sour when she finds out the man was recently shot dead.

Jorja learns the deceased had a son living rough on the seamy streets of Calgary’s east side, but now missing. His street buddies know something but are afraid to talk. When her main informant disappears, Jorja knows this is no ordinary missing person case. Her suspicions are confirmed when the head of Special Crimes orders her to back off. Jorja is convinced the missing man holds the answer to unlocking a shocking family secret, but fears digging deeper could be lethal.

When not everyone is who they seem, can Jorja uncover a dark history before her own life is cut short?
