Book Description
No one but Hannah Johansson believes her father was murdered. Not even her mother. The doctors say he had a stroke but Hannah knows he was poisoned. She just doesn’t know who did it or why. One thing she does know is that the answers can be found at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, a pristine 9,000 acre nature preserve where her father was superintendent. When she goes back to the Refuge, instead of answers, all she finds are more questions. Ominous questions. Where are all birds? Why is there a heavily armed guard at the gate? What’s in the mysterious bundles being dropped off there in the middle of the night? When the police won’t investigate, Hannah is determined to find the answers herself and she won’t quit until she learns the truth. Not even after she is shot at, thrown in jail and beat up by a 300-pound lesbian biker.
