The Stone Tape House: An Alex Martin Cozy Mystery

Halloween 2000 brings more than just spooky fun for Alex Martin and her boyfriend Antony when they arrive at the crumbling Greystone Manor. Instead of a quiet weekend, they are drawn into a decades-old mystery involving a missing teen, a confused old man speaking of a long-dead mistress, and a restless spirit accusing a murderer of stealing a priceless ruby.

Alex is pulled deep into this twisting cold case, utilizing her father’s finding machine and an artifact capable of capturing voices from beyond the grave. The investigation uncovers hidden rooms, sinister secret societies, family secrets, and ties to wartime Egypt, stolen antiquities, and a murder committed 60 years prior. As the past bleeds into the present, Alex must uncover the truth before those determined to keep it buried stop her.
