She’s thrown into the thick of things her first day on the job when she witnesses a student drop dead during a talent show sound check. Camryn’s unique auditory abilities lead her to suspect foul play. The more questions she asks, the clearer it becomes that something is amiss at the school. She’s determined to crack the case before any more dead bodies are found. Unfortunately, her abilities also make Camryn a threat to a killer who doesn’t want anyone to hear the truth.

Crime Strikes a Chord

2021

When Camryn Paine’s student assistant asks for her help, Camryn finds it hard to say no. The Gleason family, alumni of the music conservatory where Camryn works, hired a company to assist with a move across town. Now the company, along with a truck full of their possessions has vanished. The family is desperate to find their belongings, especially a violin that goes back multiple generations. The request strikes a sentimental chord with Camryn. Camryn attempts to use her refined audio abilities to pinpoint anyone who may be trying to pass the violin off as their own—and she suspects it’s someone at the music conservatory. But the guilty party is determined to keep Camryn silent—permanently, if necessary.
