With a deep breath, we tore out of the brush and raced toward the truck where two tall, burly men with tattoos and black t-shirts were loading the truck. The cops were cresting up over the hill and pointing in our direction. Then the air began to warm up again, and I told myself it was just my imagination, just trauma from the roof, adrenaline from the chase.
I felt my breath catch in my throat as the air around me constricted, just for a second. It was hooded, like the horror movie grim reapers, but then it was gone. As I stared at the empty space where he’d been, the air grew cold again, and for just the quickest second, I saw a dark thing in its place. “Yeah, complaining as usual.” Augustus fixed his beady eyes on me, then vanished in a huff. Jack stiffened next to me and he glanced around. Now if you don’t mind going away, I really don’t need the distraction,” I hissed. It’s up to Alexandra, her friends, and possible new allies to save the day in the thrilling new tale of Alexandra Fry, Private Eye.ĮXCERPT I gulped and shook my head, not wanting to speak for fear of someone hearing. Who is the bad guy this time? Who can she trust? And above all, what is the Shadow Man? New friends, a first crush, and a new threat from the spirit world, Alexandra must use everything she’s learned to uncover the mysteries in this case.
With a fight brewing between Alexandra and her two best friends, Penelope and Jack, this case won’t be as easy as it seems. But her hopes are dashed when she’s visited by none other than the famous boy Pharaoh, Tutankhamun who has a very special request: to find the carved jade crocodile that once belonged to the mummy of his unborn child. Now an 8th grader and the senior of Sage Brush Middle School, Alexandra Fry is looking forward to having a nice, calm, mystery-free year.
