Are you ready for a great read? Do you enjoy a different kind of mystery that will intrigue you and make you fall in love with the characters? Then read on: There's a growing problem in the neighborhood. Drugs, rapes, and murder. The police are apathetic; and nobody is addressing the problem at the street level. A group of four women have turned to Dr. Caitlin McKinnon-Ferguson, a psychologist and police consultant for help where they learn more than they ever hoped for. This eclectic band of women learns about the powers of observation, police tactics, and martial arts. Caitlin's first order of business is to organize walkabouts. They go on the streets of Boulder to fight crime where no one expects them to become involved, because except for one young woman, they are a little over-weight, a little gray-haired, and, to be honest, seem so nice. When they discover a meth lab in their little suburban neighborhood, they turn to the police, but nothing comes of it. Why? Then there's an assault in Colorado Springs and a murder in Boulder. It's up to Caitlin and her unlikely apprentices to connect the dots and solve the crimes before there's another victim. What these five women didn't count on was going up against a ruthless Rastafarian and his gang-a gang that would just as soon cut your throat as they would quietly pass by you in the dead of night. Silver Element is a work of fiction-mystery and fantasy, set in Boulder, CO.
