The Pass
• Was it suicide? Or was it murder?
For Spencer Alcrest, accepting his friend would take her own life is something he can’t fathom. He’s desperate to uncover the truth surrounding her mysterious death and isn’t afraid to put his life on the line to find it.
For Spencer’s sister Chrys, sitting at home while her brother searches for answers isn’t her idea of fun.
And when the bullets start flying, it’s too late to turn back. It’s time to dive in.
CHRYS ALCREST
She will never admit it, but her mother disappearing when she was 3 and being fostered to the Alcrest family was the best thing to happen to her. The half Aboriginal beauty lives her life the way she wants it. Server at The Alcrest, dance instructor…and Chrys is always in search of the next adventure whether it be in her personal life or something more. Smart, sexy, curious, fearless, foul-mouthed and often wild are the best ways to describe her. Chrys Alcrest has a yearning to solve whatever mystery comes along until she gets to that one solution which has plagued her for her entire life.
SPENCER ALCREST
Chef and owner of The Alcrest Gastropub, Spencer Alcrest has done his best to continue the legacy started by his father. He went to culinary school with big dreams of chef stardom only to return home to transform the family pub into something bigger. Beleaguered by inner fears of commitment and his foster-sister’s antics Spencer struggles to keep the business in the black while keeping himself and his sister alive.

About the author
Lorne Oliver
13 books24 followersI’ve tried writing my bio many times and finally came to the realization that it is best to do it as I write. No formal, “Lorne Oliver was born as the wind flies amongst the Canadian woods,” I’m picturing you reading that in an English accent.
My favorite four things in life are my two kids who are discovering how talented they are, my wonderful wife who I discover is smarter than she gives herself credit for, and the world of writing. The order changes depending on the day.
In 2007 I got a diploma in culinary management and moved my family to Prince Edward Island, Canada where I worked in many restaurants to learn the trade of a chef. What I really learned is that the jobs I preferred were the ones where I could lean against the wall and write between customers.
My writing journey started at the age of ten because of Mrs. Staples, a great school librarian, and something called The Young Authors Club. Because of my love of Sherlock Holmes stories I started with short mysteries and then I changed to romance form a male perspective. I enjoyed books like Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity and Karen Brichoux’s Coffee and Kung Fu.
While in PEI, thanks to my wife, I had the opportunity to interview several members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It gave me the chance to write the idea I had for a long time of showing the officer chasing down a serial killer while letting the reader see how a little kid could grow up to be a monster. That is done, but there are more monsters that need to speak.
