Temple's Ghost
To the people back home, Colton Rae is still a big deal. His trip is supposed to take days, not weeks. A funeral. A day to grieve with his sister, then another to settle his mother’s affairs, but his mother’s affairs don’t settle easily. Some old letters implicate the father he barely remembers in a decades-old murder, and his father wants them back. Someone else wants them, too, for a reason more damaging to Colton than murder. Not all ghosts roam the halls.

About the author
Carl Purdon
16 books24 followersCarl was born in 1964 in Pontotoc, Mississippi. One of his first memories has him standing in his front yard wishing he was old enough to go to school so he could learn to read and write. Especially write, because he had stories swirling inside his head and he didn't want to forget them. His next memory is of his first day at school, wondering what he had wished himself into, and how he could get back out of it. On that first day of first grade, he was kept in at recess because he was the only kid in his class who couldn't recite his ABCs. An ironic start for a boy who would grow up to write novels.
When he was 28, Carl rode his motorcycle north from Mississippi and toured the back roads of Ohio. Later he rode through the Smokey Mountains and up the Blue Ridge Parkway into Virginia. Riding relaxed him, and allowed his mind to wander back toward the novels he knew he would someday write. Someday came about a decade later, when he stopped making excuses and began the difficult task of turning a dream into reality.
Carl still lives in Pontotoc with his wife, Sharon, and two of their four children. At present he and Sharon have three grandsons and two granddaughters who keep them busy. Carl has written five novels and is always working on something new.

Great Story!
This is the 2nd book I've read by Carl Purdpn, and he is becoming one of my favorite authors, and one of the best storytellers I've had the pleasure of reading. He just hooks you and reels you in and causes you to lose a lot of sleep! Great characters and one hell of a story! Now I'm off to read another Purdon book!
