Hurriya (HS) Burney wrote and published her debut murder mystery, The Lake Templeton Murders.

A fast-paced whodunit set in a small fictional town in Vancouver Island starts with discovering a body found drowned on the beach. The police determined that the victim, Sharon Reese, plunged off the dock outside her own lakefront home in a drunken stupor. On the surface, it seems like an accident or a suicide. Private investigator, Fati Rizvi, convinced that it’s murder, sets out to unravel the mystery.
