Delighted to share the news of the latest release by Dan Antion – Bridge to Nowhere: A Rascal Todd Mystery.

About the book

Pittsburgh reporter Rachael Todd has a hard deadline — and it’s personal. Her friend is a murder suspect. He knew the victim. He had a strong motive and a weak alibi. Rachael’s certain he is being framed, and she’ll have to live up to her nickname “Rascal” to clear him. Rascal sees a connection to an earlier crime. The clock is ticking as she digs through multiple layers of legal and bureaucratic misdeeds, crimes, and evidence that the police ignored.

Is a crime solved when the criminals are identified, or only after they are brought to justice? This is a mystery born from that question. The story includes many twists and turns, even after the crime is solved. It features characters, including the bad guys, that grow in ways that might surprise you, and well-researched circumstances that will take you from delight to frustration while moving you close to the edge of your seat—sound interesting? If it does, this book is for you.

One of the early reviews

Teagan 5.0 out of 5 stars Bridge to Nowhere is a bridge to intrigue. It definitely does not go “nowhere.” Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024

Rascal/Rachael Todd is a delightful protagonist. We root for this young reporter to get to the bottom of this mystery — and hope that she doesn’t end up with the whole thing falling down around her ears.

“Rachael focused on the questionable, rapid demolition of the building in her, and her research that debunked the notion that the homeless had been using natural gas as a heat source. She pointed out the desire of the fire captain to investigate, as well as the desire of the contractor to go ahead with the project. Rachael mentioned the well-camouflaged ownership and alluded to the plans for the building and ended with a quote from Winston Longhand emphasizing public safety. She printed her draft for Bernie.”

I smell trouble. Rascal… don’t go walking under any ladders now, ya hear?

I’d call it a mystery despite whatever precise definitions of that term any purists might have. The Bridge to Nowhere doesn’t go to a single specific sub-genre. It does, however, go to characters, places, and circumstances that readers will be glad they visited.
