They take his RV to a tiny town in rural Missouri that’s filled with odd characters and darker secrets. But Vicky has secrets of her own. She believes this kidnapped girl may be linked to a case she reported on nine years ago, when a mystery child was found walking on levee, bloody and unable to speak. Back then, Vicky failed to follow up clues only she knew. Now, she has a chance to redeem herself. As she uncovers secrets, it becomes clear someone will kill to keep them hidden.
About the Author
ML Barrs ran TV newsrooms for years, guiding and managing the content and
production of more than eight hours of live newscasts a day.
In her debut novel, Parallel Secrets, protagonist Vicky Robeson shares that
kind of experience as well as the author’s passion for justice,
especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of children and other
vulnerable people.
ML Barrs grew up one of thirteen children—the first girl, with three
older brothers—a birth order she believes shaped her essence by the
time she was eight. A girl’s gotta be a bit pugnacious to get along in
that environment. Amid the chaos of fourteen people living in a mobile home
(not a double-wide), she turned fifteen, dropped out of school and ran away
from home.
Being homeless, then working minimum wage jobs quickly grew old. She earned
her GED and went to college, where she met and married the father of their
two grown children. After a successful career as a television news director
and general manager, she decided that what she really wanted to do is write
mysteries. Parallel Secrets will be published September 2023, and its sequel
is in the works.
