New book ‘A Current Deception’ follows Darcy Farthing’s latest adventure
NAPLES, Fla. (PRWEB) February 11, 2015 -- “A Current Deception” (published by Xlibris) is the fifth novel in author Arleen Alleman’s “Darcy Farthing” adventure series. It follows a 20-year-old crime as it causes a psychopath to invade a cruise ship to seek revenge. Investigative reporter, Darcy Farthing, with her friends and family are drawn into the murder-mystery plot and try to identify the killer.
Readers follow as Darcy boards a luxury cruise ship for a trip to beautiful Australian seaports with family and friends – a cruise where a baffling murder mystery challenges her investigative skills. The crimes begin when a small town woman is plagued by an attack of yellow crazy ants – a dangerous invasive species – as well as an illness caused by mysterious food-borne bacteria, and the odd cancellation of an onshore tour. These bizarre but relatively minor incidents escalate when the ants injure more passengers and crew members.
She turns her full attention to the crimes when evidence is found in her friend Brooks’ stateroom and the security chief names him as the sole suspect. Brooks is clearly innocent, but the chief is inexplicably reluctant to conduct a more thorough investigation to clear him. Then Darcy’s best friend, Sid, who is also Brooks’ fiancé, becomes the latest victim. Clue by clue, with husband Mick’s help Darcy uses her skills to reveal a homicidal master of disguise and world class computer hacker intent on exacting revenge related to a 20-year-old crime.
“A Current Deception” is an exciting fast-paced read with multiple plots and unique twists that is bound to keep readers absorbed from first page until last.
