A Death on The Horizon

By Mark Ellis

On the cusp of what she believes to be her termination at Charon Investigations, Private Investigator Melissa Blythe is assigned the case that will hopefully save her career and change her life. Burned-out by the soul-numbing demands of investigative work and a love life adrift on Seattle's late-summer streets, Melissa is convinced her boss is giving her one last chance. She's booked passage on the fateful cruise ship Northstar to investigate the death of progressive journalist Lara Svenko on a conservatives-only cruise the previous summer. She gets more than she bargained for when her search for clues reveals that the prime suspect is a Trans Oceanic Lines employee who is on the ship with her. In a more positive development, when her stateroom lock is tampered with during the voyage, a helpful deck crewman, Dan Waldenburg, comes to the rescue. Who killed Lara Svenko, and why? In A Death on the Horizon, political and cultural columnist Mark Ellis scares up a maritime thriller about love, obsession, and an ideology threatened by demographic obsolescence.
