About the Hunter & Holmes Mystery Series:

The Silicon Valley is a great place for two young teens to be growing up. There is fabulous weather all year round, lots of activities for young people to participate in, lots of new technology and innovation, and a great cultural life. With all of these things to do, and with their usual activities of school, arts, recreational sports, and doing things with their friends, why would best friends Jason Hunter and Daniel Holmes want to spend their time as detectives?

The answer has to do with motivation. When Jason is suddenly and mysteriously kidnapped in a public park in broad daylight, their carefree days of playing video games, and basketball, or just hanging out with each other and their circle of friends suddenly comes to a halt. Jason must now deal with all of the mental, physical and emotional impact that a crime victim experiences. Even more troubling is the fact that no one can figure out why he was kidnapped or who was responsible. Jason and his parents are nice people, outgoing and friendly, honorable in their relationships and business dealings. They are the last people you would think that someone would have a grudge against.

After Jason's release by his kidnappers, Daniel, who is very angry about what happened to his best friend, also discovers that the Jason he knew before the kidnapping is slipping away in a sea of self-doubt. Daniel realizes that the only way Jason can fully recover from his ordeal is to find out the truth about the kidnapping. Why was it done and who did it? So he sets out to find these answers, and eventually convinces Jason to join him. The detective team of Hunter & Holmes is in business!
