Shopping Can Be Deadly (A Discount Detective Mystery)

When gunshots echo off the shopping mall walls, the phrase “shop till you drop” takes on new meaning. Single mom, Cameron Chandler, is an investigator with Penny-wise Investigations, a discount detective agency conveniently located in a suburban shopping mall. She is approaching her office with a cup of Guatemalan dark roast in her hand when she hears a gunshot and sees a young man collapse just a few feet away. Chaos breaks out in the packed mall as people try to escape. Cameron runs over to the gunshot victim and kneels beside him, but before she can help, she is grabbed from behind and forcibly dragged toward a mall exit. A former acquaintance who believes he was the target of the mall shooting asks Cameron to babysit his dog while be does a disappearing act. They have no idea that two phony FBI agents will stop at nothing to find the dog and his owner. It is up to Cameron to prevent the faux agents from succeeding and to discover the real reason behind the mall shootings.
