The Storm

The Storm is the foundation, the book that sets the stage for the series, The Cayhill Three Mysteries, and introduces the main characters: Lylle Cayhill, his wife Avila Pembroke-Cayhill and their three children 16-year-old Acer, 13-year-old Dahlia and 10-year-old Alec who find their lives turned upside down when Aunt Rebecca Pembroke, who prefers to be called Aunt Becca arrives to deliver the shocking news that Lylle and Avila are missing possibly dead.
The heirs to the Cayhill fortune find their world shattered and they aren't sure who to trust as things aren't as they seem. Even though they're convinced that Aunt Becca masterminded their parent's disappearance, they discover that she's not the only person hiding something from them.
Mitchel, their parents' lawyer has stopped by the mansion several times since their parents have been gone and has only spoken with their aunt, and Robert, the Cayhill family driver, has become quite close with her too. Then there is Debra, their father's assistant who has disappeared and Suzanne, their mother's assistant, who won't answer her phone.
Relatives and friends converged on Cayhill mansion; trying to convince the Cayhill three that their parents won't be coming home, but the children know it's not true.
With so many people acting suspicious, and so many baffling unanswered questions, the Cayhill three take matters into their own hands, but nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead.
