Book One: Murder in the Family Tree
Welcome to a tale where bloodlines serve as cryptic maps and whispered ancestral secrets hold the power to unravel the present. The Blackwood family, enshrouded in both prestige and enigma, faces a crisis centuries in the making. A brutal murder in their ancestral home has broken the facade of tranquility, thrusting a unique team into a web of deceit and hidden identities.
Meet Abby and Liz, childhood friends who are devoted to forensic science and genealogy, respectively. Their knowledge is essential for unraveling the Blackwood family history.

Together, they race against time to solve a murder with roots deep in history, threatening to expose a scandal capable of crumbling the Blackwood name.
Their investigation intersects with that of a diverse cast, each holding a piece of this intricate puzzle.
