Sixty seven years ago, the Fourth Street Bank was robbed and the assistant manager murdered. The money was never recovered, and their only suspect disappeared into thin air. Everyone knew that he did it…except his family. Pepper has been hired to clear his name, but that leaves her with another big problem…finding the real robbers. Pepper Jones and her unusual partner Jacob Longstreet take on the ultimate cold case…one whose clues they will have to dig up in the last century.
Mystery abounds in the books of Amazon Best Selling Author J.T. Lewis.
Living in Southeast Indiana, J.T. has always loved a mystery. Striving to bring readers a story packed full of action, adventure, and suspense has led to his current selection of titles.
His first full length novel, Murder! Too Close To Home, has been voted #1 on Goodreads Best Debut Mystery Series list. Since then JT's many novels have taken off, bringing readers action and adventure at every turn.
Also look for JT Lewis' Pepper and Longstreet YA mystery series. Having been compared to the old Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries, Pepper and Longstreet at first seem an unlikely duo.
Having discovered Jacob Longstreet standing in her kitchen one day, the ghost of a Civil War solder soon becomes Pepper's friend, as well as her partner in solving mysteries. Together, they find themselves in the most unlikely of situations as mysteries unfold around them.
An electrician by trade, at night JT Lewis morphs into a fictional detective with a keyboard, a transition that suits his need for creating exciting stories very much.
"The Unsolved Robbery" is #4 in the "Pepper and Longstreet" Young Adult mystery series. In this case a bank robbery in 1945 was never solved, but the prime suspect was the grandfather of a fellow student in Pepper's history class. Having lived his life under a shadow of shame, due to the unproven allegations against his grandfather, this young boy, Peter Bergman, asked Pepper if she would consider looking into the "cold case" to see if she could at least find out where his grandfather disappeared to. It was almost too much to hope that she might actually solve the old case.
Never underestimate Pepper Jones and Jacob Longstreet when they set out to solve a case. This story is a fine example of how the two amateur detectives work so well together, with Pepper on the internet, and Longstreet - did I mention he's a ghost? - sneaking around looking for clues.
This is a fun story, on par with any of "The Hardy Boys" or "Nancy Drew" mysteries. I recommend this story, which is available either singly or in the full collection of 11 tales. Definitely a fun read!
