It’s 1985, and in the serene and sleepy little town of Glenmere, Saskatchewan, which had only been shaken by scandal and violence months before, Amy Young dreams of settling back into some semblance of normalcy. Still, she is unwillingly thrust into the limelight once again—this time as the primary suspect in a murder investigation—when she finds the frozen body of a local teenager stuffed into the freezer at the grocery store where she works. Randy Doyle, a rookie cop on the Glenmere police force, has always craved the adrenaline rush of big-city police work—and even more so after the previous month’s events. As each clue seems to lead directly to Amy, his newfound niece, the investigation starts hitting far too close to home, and his path forward takes a sharp turn. Unsure of who to trust, but willing to risk everything he has to keep Amy from going to prison for a crime she didn’t commit and to save her and her friends from becoming the next victims what local law enforcement had dubbed the “Ice Box Murders.” The stage has been set … and the stakes have never been higher! “A gripping tale of murder, family loyalty, and the relentless pursuit of justice!”
DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CHOICE IN WHO WE ARE? Obviously, we do not have a choice in where, when, or to whom we were born, or any physical characteristics or limitations we are born with. But what about our life circumstances? To what extent do we have a choice in the struggles we experience in life, the thoughts we think, or even our career or financial situation? How much of our life is influenced by external factors such as biology, accident, or even luck? These questions leave us wondering if we really have any choice or control over the direction, circumstances, and experiences of our lives. The factors that influence our lives and our choices are numerous and complex. In Mazdaism, the belief is that we indeed have the freedom to choose. The teachings of Zarathustra explain that we are not defined by our personality, but by our essence. With deep understanding, awareness, and by elevating our consciousness, we can nurture higher qualities within our minds and achieve true freedom. Without this, we are not genuinely free to shape our destiny.
In this thrilling third installment of the Agent Bennet saga, the young field agent is about to face his greatest challenge yet: himself. Armed with the shocking revelation that the sinister Shepherd has turned more than one of their own into a pawn against the Orphanage, Bennet sets out to expose everything the Shepherd has planned. But his path is riddled with peril, and he’ll need to rally all of his friends if he hopes to survive. Haunted by the presence of his twin brother, Collin, Bennet is torn between loyalty to his family and the weight of his secrets. Collin’s tantalizing promises of freedom if Bennet joins the Shepherd shatter any remaining trust between the brothers, leaving Bennet with an agonizing choice: stay true to the organization that raised him or risk everything to rescue Collin from the clutches of darkness. As Bennet navigates the treacherous crossroads of destiny, his faith in the Orphanage begins to waver under the captivating influence of Darcy. She challenges his every belief, causing him to question his loyalties, and sows seeds of doubt in his mind. Will Bennett emerge from this adventure as a hero, or, like Collin, will he fall into the shadows that threaten to consume him?
