Deadly Declarations

Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Winner, 2022

The Thursday Murder Club meets Southern charm in this mystery/thriller when three retirees at the Independence Retirement Community team up to solve two mysteries related to the death of a 96-year-old resident. Why was his manuscript about the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence missing when they found his body? And why did his handwritten will disinherit his beloved granddaughter (his only heir), and leave his $50 million fortune to Sue Ellen Parker, the most despised resident at the Indie?

At the urging of Chuck Yeager Alexander (conspiracy theorist, resident rabble-rouser) and Harriet Keaton (whip-smart, with an extreme dislike of Sue Ellen Parker), Craig Travail (savvy trial lawyer, reluctant retiree) goes to court to challenge the dead man’s will for the granddaughter. This decision sets in motion a series of dangerous events that could lead the threesome to discover the answer to a colonial mystery that has evaded historians for 250 years, what President John Adams called "one of the deepest mysteries that every occurred to me." That is, if they don’t die trying.
