Fast-forward to 1987, and Amelia Crenshaw is attempting to find the biological parents that abandoned her when her path unexpectedly leads to a killer. Meanwhile, NYPD Detective Stockton Barnes is looking for Wall Street millionaire Perry Wayland who has gone missing immediately after the Black Monday stock market crash. Barnes (whose name was chosen by Staub’s Facebook fans) is a character from her previous books but gets further developed in this first installment of the Foundlings trilogy. The author’s meticulous research tells a complex tale of multifaceted characters through a page-turning murder mystery inspired by the Charles Manson murders.
Staub has written more than 90 novels, with Foundlings being her fifth suspense trilogy for HarperCollins. Stay tuned to read more about Wendy Corsi Staub in the November issue of Westchester Magazine.
