It is the location of one of the largest mass suicides in American history. Thirty-eight members of the Heaven&#8217;s Gate cult left their bodily &#8220;vehicles&#8221; hoping for their souls to be taken aboard an alien space ship traveling behind the Hale-Bopp comet. Now, decades later, it looks like an offshoot cult is following the same pattern. One of the victims is the sister of private eye Cliff Knowles, a sister he hasn&#8217;t seen in years. He has trouble accepting the conclusion of the police that it&#8217;s a suicide. His investigation turns into a bittersweet family reunion when he comes to know his disabled niece whom he last saw when she was an infant. He&#8217;s determined to see justice done for her sake.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2166 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AWTD_KindleCover-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AWTD_KindleCover-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AWTD_KindleCover-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AWTD_KindleCover-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AWTD_KindleCover-624x936.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.ackgame.com\/onwords\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AWTD_KindleCover.jpg 1667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The seventh book in the Cliff Knowles Mysteries series is now for sale on Amazon as both Kindle and paperback.
