Harassed
No good deed goes unpunished…..
One spring evening in 1995, when the air was breezeless and laden with pollen, Amanda Silva was seen stumbling from a college party. Some people may have taken notice of the mascara streaking down her face; others may have wondered why she was her right hand and clasping it to her chest. And a few spotted Scott Ellers walking her dorm, alone. The night was a blur for most, one of fleeting lust and emotions, but everything changed for the sleepy college town the next morning when the Silva’s room mate discovered Amanda’s empty bed. Scott Ellers is accused of a crime he claims he didn’t commit and Amanda Silva’s family seeks justice that the legal system cannot bring to them.
Harassed tells the spiraling story of the quest for the truth and how it can become dark and twisted when many people with differing agendas are hunting for it. The reality of the truth is that it is not black and white; it is gray and malleable with far-reaching membranes. The detectives who find themselves entrenched in the case of the Scott Eller’s murder and Amanda Silva’s disappearance will quickly discover that finding the truth may not be as simple as sorting through facts. It can hold many different – and sometimes dangerous – meanings to many different people.

Dear oh dear.....deleted at 8% as it's full of mistakes and often had more than one per page. Not a hope I was going to persevere, I'm afraid.
Someone was called Carol on one page and Carolyn the next which was careless but for me it's the total misuse of apostrophes that did it for me.....all the time !! Pedrosa's, Silva's, parent's (every time it was used when it should've been parents').......annoying beyond belief.
The story looked like it would be interesting. However, for the lack of a proofreading exercise I'll never know.
