★ "The perfect combination of suspense and charm." --Amazon Reader's Review

Kids, get ready to meet the Phantom Rider!

Objects of value have been disappearing from the Mayfield family’s rural California horse ranch. The Botanic Hill Detectives—Moki Kalani, Rani Kumar, and twins Lanny and Lexi Wyatt—are hired to come for a week to investigate.

Legend has it somewhere on the Mayfields’ forty-acre property is a long-lost gold mine. It was supposedly staked by thirteen-year-old Ben Mayfield’s five-time great-grandfather, Aloysius “Papa” Mayfield, in 1875.

Adding to the excitement, a nervous Ben reveals a frightening secret to the detectives. At the ranch, he alone has seen a threatening black-clad figure on horseback whom he calls the Phantom Rider. Who is this mysterious person? Is he responsible for the thefts? Where is the lost gold mine? And what’s going on in the nearby, snake-infested ghost town of Rainbow Flats? The four intrepid detectives aim to find out.

About this title

About the Author

I am the author of The Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries series for kids aged 9-12 (Middle Grade).My goal is to get my books into kids' hands and hearts. As a mother, grandmother, retired teacher, and now children's author, I have made kids my life. They rock! I wish they ran the world. I created my four detectives to be responsible, respectful role models for my readers. I live in beautiful San Diego, California, which is the prototype for Las Palmitas, the Pacific resort town where my series is set. My historic neighborhood of North Park is the prototype for the detectives' neighborhood of Botanic Hill. Currently, I am writing Book 4 in the series and promise many more to come!
