The Arrest in Mannequin Row
Sea fronds swirl, street after street, row after row… According to Jule’s marina friends, only ghosts live in the town beneath the water at James Cove. She’s heard otherwise. She’s not supposed to dive alone, but she must know what was dumped there.
Jule Munroe overhears two rival divers arguing about ‘fresh trash’ dumped at James Cove. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum may not be her favourite people, but they always find quality hauls. Curiosity gets the best of her, and she wants to beat them to it.
Marina policy is clear: never dive alone. But when her diving partner is a no-show, nothing stops Jule—not the rules, not the oncoming storm, and certainly not anything living in the town beneath the water. The only monsters Jule’s ever met were human, back when she lived on the streets of Edgeport City. And she doesn’t believe in ghosts.
This creepy supernatural crime suspense novella is the first descent into a much larger story set in Edgeport City, a re-imagining of Toronto, Ontario.

Reader Reviews
“Daven is adept at dialogue, and the turn of a phrase. (“So many memories today, an undertow of them.”) This is my favourite genre. I hope she writes more in this vein, and look forward to the next missive from Edgeport City.”
Donna Stewart, Amazon Reviewer
“The prose is lovely, very atmospheric and moody, the characters and setting vividly brought to life.”
Catherine Fitzsimmons, author of the Sisters of Chaos Trilogy
“I really enjoyed reading this novella. However I wanted more. The storyline could be expanded and make a great mystery thriller novel.”
