Web of Fear

Professor Brendan Keane and Joanna "Jo" Lawrence have returned once more to Devon after several weeks abroad. Though yet another winter had pulled away from the English shores, mystery and suspense do not follow their retreat. As a young boy is found asleep in Keane's study, Lawrence is thrown headfirst into a maze of dangerous characters and desperate situations. She finds she must stagger forward alone, as her companion has abandoned her to her own devices. Keane's absence; however, is anything but intentional.

After all, who would willingly be tried for treason?

ELYSE LORTZ is the author of the mystery series featuring Joanna Lawrence and Professor Brendan Keane. Starting with her debut novel, Come Away, she has since published three additional Lawrence and Keane mysteries, as well as a book of poetry entitled This Midnight Hour​​​​​​.
