Who's Crazy?!

It looks like Joel has finally made it: it's the autumn of 1938 and he's been hired as an assistant detective by the London Police Force. The big promotion means a move for Joel, his wife, Georgie, and their young daughter, Annie. But it looks like the Franklins aren't the only ones present at the charming little house on Princess Ave. The house has a dark history, which Joel and Georgie are going to learn about in a most surprising way. Who is the mysterious essence Dora? And what is she trying to tell them? Joel's first case for the LPF is a doozy: an attempted armed robbery at a mom-and-pop grocery store. After questioning a suspiciously resistant witness leads him to a visit with his old friend Dr. Alfred Khryscoff at the Ontario Hospital, Joel and his partner, Det. Reg Cooper, uncover clues leading to a string of violent bank robberies, murders, and assaults, all committed by a gang of ruthless criminals led by a brutal psychopath. But Joel is finding out that being on the LPF isn't like being a constable in the quiet little town of Chaseford. There are office politics to consider, and it's easy to accidentally step on another officer's toes. Joel is making mistakes and learning as he goes with the help of his mentor, Detective Gerald O'Neill, and the head of the tactical unit, Inspector Thomas Simpson. With stakeouts, gun battles, haunted houses, and dramatic chases, the bank robbery case is pushing Detective Joel Franklin to his limits! Who's Crazy?! is the eighth installment in the Joel Franklin Mystery series, which began with Lightning at 200 Durham Street. Set in Ontario, Canada, in the 1930s, this paranormal historical whodunit with a cast of recurring characters harks back to the Golden Age of detective fiction. A real treat for readers of all ages!
