Mystery

A cozy English seaside town, Blackpool, England, is also a town steeped in secrets. Once a haven for smugglers, the town is also the site of a famous train derailment and robbery that occurred during World War II. The train carried children of several prominent families being evacuated from London, as well as a large cache of priceless art, and a fortune in gold. The treasure was never recovered.

Now, seventy years later, Blackpool is a peaceful tourist destination and is the new home of American Molly Graham and her British husband Michael. The town's peace is about to be upset as a film company has come to make a documentary about the survivors of the train wreck. Molly is working closely with the film crew as the public relations liaison. When the elderly survivors begin to be murdered before filming has even started, Molly takes it upon herself to find out who and what is upsetting the tea cart in her adopted town.

With help from her beloved Michael, Molly sets out to track down the reason for the killings. Why is the train wreck and missing artwork at the heart of all the mayhem? Some secrets just don't want to be revealed, and those who seem to be enemies just might prove otherwise, as the Grahams soon find out.

STOLEN by Jordan Gray is the result of a unique partnership between the author, Big Fish Games, and Harlequin Books. Loosely based on Big Fish Game's popular Mystery Case File Game, Ravenhurst, this novel dives deeper into the history of Blackpool and its residents. Gray breathes life into the characters of Molly and Michael Graham, and the result is a loving and charming couple reminiscent of Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man movie series. Readers will fall in love with this romantic sleuthing duo.

STOLEN is the first in a series of four books set to be released revolving around the Grahams, Blackpool and the Ravenhurst mansion. Fans of the mystery games, as well as great mystery writing, should be well pleased with the results.
