Here’s the set-up for Teresa Burrell’s The Advocate’s Conviction, just $4.99 on Kindle:

Sabre Orin Brown’s clients keep disappearing.

A young boy and a teenage girl are both missing from foster care. With seemingly no connection between the two cases, Sabre enlists the help of her southern PI friend, JP, and her best friend, Bob, to find each of them – before it’s too late.

When her search seems to land her in a hotbed of Satanic ritual, everything points to the occult.

But Sabre doesn’t believe in the dark forces, and the pieces just aren’t adding up. In her race against the clock, Sabre must determine whether contemporary horrors are being buried in the shadow of dark traditions – or if it’s something else at work.

A conspiracy years in the making, secrets hidden for decades, and the twisted work of a mysterious society have all come together in the ultimate test of the strength of Sabre’s conviction.
