Artifice (Pros and Cons Mysteries Book 4) (Kindle Edition)

When the teenage son of a prominent Boston family vanishes from Lighthouse Harbor—an exclusive therapeutic retreat for troubled youth—private investigator Olive Sterling is called in to find him. The pristine coastal town appears picture-perfect, but beneath its charming New England exterior, something sinister lurks.

Going undercover as a wealthy benefactor, Olive infiltrates the rehabilitation center where something doesn’t add up. Strange behavior from the staff, whispers of experimental treatments, and a suspicious death labeled as an accident all point to a dangerous conspiracy. As two more teens disappear, the stakes escalate.

Complicating matters is “Sean,” a curriculum consultant whose penetrating questions and convenient timing make Olive question his true motives. Their undeniable attraction only adds to her confusion—is he an ally in her investigation or someone with his own dangerous agenda?

With time running out and a storm approaching the treacherous coastline, Olive must uncover the truth before another life is lost.
