The Crime in the Woods

by Ashad Mukadam

Overview

In April 2019 in Ellis, Columbia State, Grade 5 students Mitchell "Mitch" Carter, Mike Brock, and Morgan Lamb are walking to their treehouse in the woods nearby after school.  As soon as they reach the main trail, they hear gunshots, and rush to find out what happened.  When they get to the scene of the crime, they discover the body of Jeremy Diggins, an accountant with Eckstein's Goods who used to do forensic accounting in Alford, Pulford State.  The three boys, who call themselves the 3 "M"igos, rush to get Detective Mack Evans of the Ellis Police Service, but when they return, the body's gone!  Detective Evans and the officers with him are unimpressed, and leave in a huff of anger at the boys' "game."  Mitch, Mike, and Morgan decide to take it upon themselves to solve the case.  Will they get the cooperation of other adults in Ellis as they investigate?  Will they be able to find Mr. Diggins' body again?  And, most importantly, will they be able to get Detective Evans to believe that they were telling the truth, and enlist his help to solve the case?

After finishing high school in June of 2001, he went on to the University of Calgary in September of that year, where he finished his Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2005 with a major in Management Information Systems. He worked in the IT field for a while, but realized that he enjoyed writing. His passion for writing led him to return to school in September of 2008, where he attended the University of Calgary. He finished his Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications Studies, With Distinction, in April of 2010, and graduated in June of that year. After he finished, he took some time to volunteer with CJSW and The Gauntlet to help him prepare for the world of journalism, while he also helped out as a blogger for the Ismaili Soccer League to help him improve his blogging and writing skills. From September 2012 to May 2013, he worked in different positions, being a marketer for a fitness company from September to November 2012, and a freelance journalist for various publications around Southern Alberta from October 2012 to May 2013. Also, from April 2013 to July 2014, he tried his hand at a database development and consulting business, but decided to end that because he just wasn’t interested in returning to the IT field, especially the programming aspects of it. Now, he is focused full-time on his writing, specifically on writing books, and his photography business.
