Seeking Skye - A Poppa Roy Mystery

By Ray Sporne

Skye Burrows is missing!
Poppa Roy, a retired, sometimes amateur sleuth is asked to help find her by Sue Weissman, a local reporter.
This story includes his thoughts and misgivings and follows his sometimes quirky investigation methods. In the cozy crime category, it has elements of mysticism and will appeal to readers of all ages, readers who are looking for an interesting, yet different and sometimes amusing, story.
The novel is set in New South Wales, Australia but the location is not a significant feature of the story. It could be anywhere, and Poppa Roy could be that older man sitting on a park bench, or next to you on a train.
