They thought he was dead . . .Now they’ll never see him coming.When 18-year-old Patrick Daley arrives home in Sacramento with his traveling circus, he’s desperate to look into his mother’s missing person case. After a reckless attempt to shine a big, obnoxious light on her disappearance, Patrick finally gets the help he’s wanted. It’s not until he’s kidnapped, and thrown into a Siberian work camp, that he discovers how close he was to solving his mom’s case. Ten years later, with revenge in his heart and a fortune hidden in a secret account gifted to him by a spiritual, old coot, Patrick escapes and finds his way home. He’s all set to face the men who betrayed him until he meets the girl he left behind all those years ago. As a girl, Elizabeth Shea had a high moral code—as a woman, she wears a badge. Proceeding as planned will not only cost him his freedom, but the one person whose memory gave him the strength to survive the unthinkable. In The Bristol Park Detective, Patrick Daley and Elizabeth Shea fell in love, but when their memories are rebooted, they must find their connection again in this romantic crime mystery retelling of the classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo. (Can be read as a standalone novel.) A Christian romantic suspense worth reading. A thriller based on faith. What readers are ★★★★★ "I love this series and can't wait for the next one! In this remake on a classic story you are taken on adventurous tale of deceit, love, and redemption. I had to finish this book in one setting as I couldn't find a breaking point to put it down.

Author
Ellie Thornton is an award-winning author who has been writing since she could lift a pencil and making up stories even longer than that. For years she worked part-time jobs so she would always have time to write, read, and travel. Some of her favorite filler jobs include working as an editor, at a nursery (flowers not children,) as a driving instructor (not as harrowing as one might think,) writing a blog called Confessions of a Property Manager, and being a ghost tour guide. She loves mysteries (reading and writing them) and especially enjoys the ones with sweet romance involved. Her "Reboot Mystery Series," (Previously known as "The Contemporary Reboot Series,") is a mystery series that takes classics like "Pride and Prejudice," "The Count of Monte Cristo," "Jane Eyre," and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" puts them in a modern setting and adds a murder mystery and a love story that builds from one book to the next. (Not an easy feat!) She's currently super into honey and beeswax and everything bee related as she is writing a book for Gelato Publishing's Halloween Sweet Romance Series, "Pumpkins and Proposals." Her main character is a beekeeper and owns a business that's all about honey, and beeswax related products. And again, because she loves a good mystery, you'll also find some intrigue there too. She also writes a writing, editing, and marketing blog for authors under the name Emily Clark called Write of Passages. If she's not at her computer, you can typically find her reading, listening to podcasts, at the local library, in her garden, in her kitchen, or with her sister and her sister's kids.
