Finding Alan

Finding Alan, the long-awaited sequel to The Desk, plunges Jeagan Christensen into yet another fast-paced adventure and journey of discovery. With the mystery of the 50-year-old murder, which was committed in Memphis's Court Square Park, solved and under her belt, Jeagan and her P.I. partner, Roger Sanderlin, are commissioned to find Isabel's son, who was stolen the day of his birth and sold to a Seattle attorney. Jeagan begins her search for Alan with very little evidence to go on: a 50-year-old letter from a Seattle attorney that references a ＄10,000 payment for Baby Alan. From her townhouse in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, she 'follows the money' to Seattle, Washington, then on to Victoria, British Columbia, and finally full circle back to Memphis, Tennessee. The search takes on a critical element when Isabel is rushed to a Memphis hospital after suffering a heart attack. Jeagan must find Alan before his birth mother's heart gives out completely. A race against time, a race against death with those who don't want the stolen son and heir apparent found. A vicious attack, a kidnapping, blood-red roses with threatening messages, documents that refuse to be found, guarded secrets that elude discovery, a fatal accident to silence a potential witness. Who can Jeagan trust when everyone appears to be hiding behind a mask of civility? Her sheer will and tenacity must keep her safe from those who want to silence her for good while she attempts to unravel the 50-year-old mystery and reunite the long-lost Alan with his family.
