Goodreads asked George L Potter:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

George L Potter When I was growing up in the 1940s in a small Louisiana town, there was an elderly lady living in a small bedsitter in our house. I never knew who that lady was, and now 75 years later, there is no one still alive who can tell me the story of this lady.

I am currently working on a novel inspired by that mysterious lady. The novel will follow Randall Oliver, the protagonist from In Search of the Yellow Dog and Treasure of Money Hill, who retires from practicing law in Dallas to return to his hometown. He has forgotten about that lady but eventually learns that she was murdered and the case was never cleared. He gets additional information, but many important facts are missing. He undertakes to solve this cold case, and his investigation runs afoul of the FBI and other three letter government agencies and the investigation takes him to the Middle East, where he encounters multiple persons attempting to do him harm.
