Double Cross has been shortlisted for the 2024 Whistler Independent Book Awards
Glistening, snow-covered forest trails may look like a winter wonderland, but a forest can also hide secrets from the past.
Matt, a fun loving high school student, joins his twin sister, Ashley, and their best friend, Saadia, for a weekend of snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Their first outing takes them to the site of a recent explosion where Matt stumbles upon a small gold cross emblazoned with a fleur-de-lis. However, they aren’t the only ones checking out the blast area. They encounter an ex-convict, who shows an interest in their find.
A retired curator identifies the origin and true value of the cross after which the cross is stolen. The three teens have their suspicions about the identity of the culprits, but when they go back to the crater to look for clues, they set off a chain of events that puts all of their lives in danger.
