Nick Dalton is certain he knows the location of the thief who framed him for a crypto heist and got away. He is ready to take his new love, Stephanie, overseas to track down and catch him, but when a client of his is savagely murdered and the police are clueless as to the killer’s identity, they decide to investigate instead. Surprisingly they also team with Nick’s bitter enemy and are soon hot on the trail of the murderer.
Once the case is cleared, the couple heads to England where they try to trick the arrogant thief into giving up the stolen crypto and bring him to justice. But in a surprise move, the thief turns the tables on Nick, and Steph frantically tries to save him before it’s too late. Can he survive danger from which there seems no escape?
Do you find unsolved historical mysteries intriguing?
Mysteries like who really ordered Booth to assassinate Lincoln? The murder of the Hermit of Maple Island?
Who stole the Irish Crown Jewels?
Where did the missing sailors of the Lost Channel end up? And how did a stolen War of 1812 British payroll end up in the hands of bootleggers?
Author John Lefevere finds these unsolved enigmas fascinating and has crafted a trilogy in his “A 1000 Islands Novel” series in which his protagonists try to solve them. In his ebook novels The Scimitar And The Snail; Jewels And Ghouls; and River Rogues, Steve Stone and Jill Matson, who live in the Thousand Islands, New York, follow theories and investigate leads to bring the truth to light, while also fending off terrorists, scamsters and just plain nasty people.
John is a retired corporate attorney whose life experiences include an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, playing golf next to the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt and recently appearing in a TV commercial. He knows from experience that there is not much difference between creating the suspension of disbelief in fiction and “shading” the facts to make them more palatable to the reader in law practice. In either case, he finds the act of writing to be fun and challenging.
When not traveling, John and his wife divide their time between homes in Virginia and the Thousand Islands, New York.
