Missing Cash and the Corpse in a Cabin


Book Description

Is there anyone who has not heard of Miss Molly Gertrude Grey, the owner of the well-known Cozy Bridal Agency? Of course, the aging, spunky woman is perhaps best known for her work as an amateur sleuth, since together with her bubbly assistant, Dora Brightside, she has now solved countless mysterious crimes in the peaceful tourist town of Calmhaven. But not many people are familiar with the story of how Miss Molly Gertrude's adventures in Calmhaven began. On a fateful day, just when Molly Gertrude arrived in Calmhaven, it appeared that the benevolent philanthropist Samuel Given slipped and hit his head on the coffee table in his cabin. Sheriff JJ Barnes was convinced it was merely an accident and wanted to close the case, but Molly Gertrude wasn't so sure and began her own investigation. In this exciting murder mystery, Molly Gertrude herself tells us how she solved the mystery and became one of Calmhaven's most celebrated figures...




Death of an Overseer


Book Description

In May of 1857, the body of Duncan Skinner was found in a strip of woods along the edge of the plantation near Natchez, Mississippi, where he worked as an overseer. Although a coroner's jury initially ruled his death to be accidental, an investigation organized by planters from the community concluded that he had been murdered by three slaves acting under instructions from John McCallin, an Irish carpenter. Now, almost a century and a half later, Michael Wayne has reopened the case to ask whether the men involved in the investigation arrived at the right verdict. Part essay on the art of historical detection, part seminar on the history of slavery and the Old South, Death of an Overseer is, above all, a murder mystery--a murder mystery that allows readers to sift through the surviving evidence themselves and come to their own conclusions about who killed Duncan Skinner and why.

Lost Bonanzas of Western Canada


Book Description

The book contains 13 true stories of lost mines, buried treasure and outlaw loot from British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. This collection of stories is unlike most. Although many of the stories themselves are not new, in the past, most authors have merely glamorized the possibility that the treasure existed. This author has gone far beyond that, spending the time and research necessary trying to establish whether or not the treasure did, in fact, exist, whether the people, places and events actually existed. It was a complicated process given the number of years that had passed. Authenticating them however, did not detract from the stories. This collection will stir the adventuresome spirit in any reader.
