Lynn Lipinski on her new novel Cryptic Inheritance

As I finish final edits on Cryptic Inheritance, I can’t help but reflect on the journey we’ve taken together through the pages of the Zane Clearwater Mysteries. It’s been quite the adventure, hasn’t it? From the very first case that thrust Zane into the tangled world of mysteries, secrets, and deception, to this moment, where our beloved protagonist stands at the precipice of a new phase in his life. I’m thrilled to introduce you to Cryptic Inheritance, a tale that marks both an end and a beginning for our dear Zane Clearwater.

In Cryptic Inheritance, Zane takes on a role that none of us could have predicted when we first met him. He’s no longer the ordinary man caught in the whirlwind of extraordinary circumstances. Instead, he’s embraced his calling as a private investigator under the guidance of the enigmatic and brilliant Loris Trapper. Their dynamic is one that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat, just as it did for me while writing.

But there’s more to this story than just a career change. Zane’s journey in this book takes a deeply personal turn. You’ll have to read on to learn more!
