Oklahoma Winds
The Sydney St. John Mysteries Book 1
by Cary Osborne
Genre: Mystery



In Oklahoma, spring brings storms raging across the American prairie,

too often spawning tornadoes that lash the land. But this spring

Sydney St. John finds herself fighting for her life against another

danger, one from the past. When her intern’s body is discovered in

the archives processing room, everyone wants to believe the girl’s

death was an accident or a horrible mistake. But Sydney sets out to

discover whether the cruel murder of today resulted from another

crime committed nearly seventy years earlier, searching for clues as

only an archivist can. Her search leads her to another danger,

different, in the person of Ben Bartlett, grandson of the creator of

the very collection at the center of the mystery. Is he to be her

lover? Or her murderer?

OKLAHOMA WINDS
is an engrossing thriller that reveals the inexorable links

present-day events (and crimes) always have to the past. We are

forever connected to the history that brought us to where we are now,

and unraveling the tangled truths of that history can shed a

brilliant light on who we have become. Yes, OKLAHOMA WINDS is a

murder mystery, and a fascinating one. But it’s also a testament to

the power of the past over our lives. Having had some experience with

research librarians and archivists, I’ve always known they were some

of the most brilliant (yet unsung) detectives among us . . . and the

protagonist of OKLAHOMA WINDS is long-overdue proof of that. Sydney

St. John does for archivists what Indiana Jones did for

archaeologists — and I can’t wait to see what mysteries she’ll

tackle next!
–Brad Denton, author of Blackburn and Sergeant Chip
