[Jonelle Sweet Mystery 02] • Gone Missing

A dead thief.

A missing transgender.

Two different mysteries. And one person has to solve them both.

Jonelle Sweet, newest private detective at Shorter Investigative Services, sets out to crack each case and she knows failure is not an option.

Sally Piedmont believes she sees her dead husband Percy rummaging through her jewelry box under cover of darkness, stealing her jewels, then floating away. As Jonelle explores the twists and turns of Sally’s case, she unearths clues that indicate bigoted son, William, and a nosey and mysterious neighbor, might be involved.

LucieBlu Bonderant, a transgender woman upset at losing a coveted role in a play, vanishes on a seedy Baltimore Street in the early morning hours following a Gay Pride parade. As Jonelle traces LucieBlu’s final steps, she’s pulled into the fascinating worlds of make believe and alternative lifestyles.

While on the surface each case appears vastly different, there are similarities: both projects take a sinister turn, and Jonelle must depend on her instincts or pay the ultimate price.
