Underneath The Tree
Description
Festive cheer, family drama, and a ghost with better timing than most relatives.
When Violet McClelland's sister, Lily, vanishes days before Christmas, she follows her intuition and her heart, to the last place she ever expected: a remote Marlborough Sounds home belonging to former FBI agent Ellie Iverson. But Ellie isn't supposed to be there.
Drawn into the strange case by a desperate call for help, private investigator Ronnie Tracey follows a trail of shimmering clues left by a spectre that blurs the line between reality and something beyond.
From the still waters of the Sounds to the glittering halls of the American embassy, Ronnie must uncover what really waits underneath the tree before the chance to bring Lily home slips away forever.
Three worlds come together to expose a single truth.

Person
Cat Connor is a multi-published crime thriller author. A tequila aficionado, long black drinker, music lover, traveler, murderer of perfectly happy characters, and teacher of crime writing via CEC at Wellington High School.
She's a mother, a pretty good ex-wife, an amazing partner, a fairly decent friend, a spectacular daughter, and a very proud Grandma. She has no problem writing people dead when they irritate her.
Cat has a deep love of animals and very much enjoys the company of Diesel her Mastador, Patrick the Tuxedo cat, and Dallas the seal point tortie Birman while writing, binge watching shows, or reading.
She spent fifteen years writing the Ellie Conway FBI-Byte Series which was published by Rebel ePublishers in the USA. The series is also available via Crazy Maple Studios on the Scream and Kiss apps.
The Ellie Conway FBI-Byte Series follows FBI Special Agent Ellie Conway on her journey as a member of an elite FBI team that functions on dark humour, close relationships, and strong coffee. Each book is a standalone story with the same core characters. As the series progresses readers learn more about Ellie and the team.
She's now writing a series that's much closer to home. The Veronica Tracey Spy/PI series is set in Upper Hutt and the Wellington Region.
