Awarded a 5 star review seal on Readers' Favorite and a 5 star review award on Readers' Choice Book Awards. “John had a strong feeling that he was about to discover something big, something really big, something that Genesis must’ve stumbled over and why she went missing in the first place. John was about to solve the case whether he wanted to or not.“ On April 8th 2024, Genesis Owens disappears during the darkness of the total solar eclipse. The authorities investigate without success and barely a clue as to what happened. With no leads and no answers, the case grows cold much to her sister's despair. Six months later, eighteen year old John Smith moves to Little Rock. Recovering from past difficulties, John hopes to establish his own unique identity and value as a detective, despite his age and his too basic name. He joins the NDA (Noble Detective Agency). He is eager to prove himself worthy of the opportunity given to him, so he readily accepts the missing person’s case. However, John ends up getting much more than he bargains for and uncovers something far greater than he could’ve ever imagined. He soon realizes that there is more at stake than the mystery of a missing person. Pulse-quickening mystery and soft science fiction, this debut novel asks: when the darkness falls, how far will you go to find the light? This is the first novel of a new YA mystery series. Great for fans of clean, action packed mysteries.
