In The Orphanage by The Lake, we meet Hazel who desperately wants a new life as she's single, 30, and her private investigation business is not doing well. Things take a turn when she meets Madeline Hemsley a socialite with a task that is too good for her to consider passing up. She wants Hazel to find a missing girl who is no longer in a known orphanage. What is thought to be a typical runaway case seems to be filled with sinister behavior, blood stains, and secrets that she couldn't even imagine! This thriller is one that will definitely be a read that you'll want to take with you whether you're commuting or preparing to travel and need something immersive as you do a bit of self-care.

We pick up where we left Morgan Eberly in the first book as he was convicted of a murder at the age of 23, was sentenced to age 40 years via a TimeLock capsule but was interupted and was able to escape in his new age of 43! 20 years was taken from him and a new and more radical president has obtained a newer technology that can be used as a weapon on the battlefield.

When only one person is able to initiate the program and he is kidnapped, the need to rescue him is essential! Morgan knows he must focus on finding him and also stopping the president from pushing forward with his plans.
