    About this ebook

    The Kashmir Shrine: a thriller with an unholy twist.
    Imogen, a young journalist, is called to a rest home to meet a dying stranger. The old man is weak, and can only give Imogen an envelope and a whispered request to, “Tell the story of my life.”
    The package is stolen from the home Imogen shares with her friend Dusty, and the two women soon learn that they have a full-scale mystery on their hands.
    That man in the rest home bed had conducted brilliant research on sacred relics but, while he patiently did the Church’s work, he had a secret objective in mind. As Imogen and Dusty piece together his clever plan, they realize that it could tear the world-wide Church apart.
    Along the way, Dusty and Imogen have to deal with their long-suppressed feelings for each other. Are they just friends, or something more?
