The Case of the Flickering Light: The District Mysteries

Premier Quillon, and the Prolos who carried out his orders, didn't care if Nilia, or anyone else, was undone. Their only interest was to be in control - a control that made Nilia ask what else could go wrong. The answer came with each subsequent tragedy. Possibly she should have foreseen what was coming next, yet Nilia wasn't prepared when her planned escape instead became her imprisonment. Behind the barred windows and locked doors, would her resilience give way to despair? The light that flickered in the night held the key to her freedom, regardless if was she was set free.

The Case of the Flickering Light is the third book in The District Mysteries series. The series, which is a sequel to the book After Tomorrow, follows our protagonist Nilia Preto as she confronts the dystopian world that erased what came before. Her curious mind sees things others might not. Any hint at a mystery goads her to find the answers, regardless the risk.
