Distraction

Distraction: a thing that prevents someone from concentrating on something else.
Travers and Palumbo join the investigation to identify who killed Sarah Taylor and abducted her four-year-old daughter, Ella.
A group calling itself 4 Freedom claims responsibility for the abduction and demands an end to the vaccine mandates.
The investigators get a lucky break - but their celebrations are short lived. 4 Freedom strikes again, and they are left wondering if Ella's abduction was a planned distraction - something designed to divert their attention away from 4 Freedom's real agenda.
If you like a murder mystery with unexpected twists, you'll enjoy Distraction, the second book in Peter Mulraney's Travers and Palumbo series.
