You can meet Port Moody author Debra Purdy Kong as she launches her latest mystery novel, Deadly Accusations, at PoMo Public Library on Saturday, March 31 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
The second book in the Casey Holland Mystery series, Deadly Accusations is a fast-paced whodunit, a psychological study of people who've lost control and of people fighting to maintain it, no matter the cost.
In the novel, transit cop Casey Holland is back and investigating a suspected gang war that is violently playing out on local buses. In the midst of this war, someone begins targeting route M6 and throwing large rocks onto moving buses. As her cases escalate, Casey also finds herself embroiled in conflict with her colleagues. After the death of a transit cop, the staff has begun to suspect one another and regard former friends and colleagues with distrust. These are hard times for Casey, as she tries to search for the truth without alienating her friends and co-workers.
Author Kong has a diploma in criminology and has also worked as a security guard. These experiences have assisted her in creating dynamic, realistic works of crime fiction. She is the author of three other novels, including The Opposite of Dark, the first book in the Casey Holland series. Debra is a member of Crime Writers of Canada, and she has published work in several anthologies and in publications such as the Vancouver Sun, Moxie Magazine and BC Parent Magazine.
