A Eureka Springs Mystery

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The last thing Meg Talbot, a genetic mixture of old aristocracy and a Cherokee grandmother, expects her grandfather Alistair to say is that he has discovered the bones of their ancestor, Thackery Talbot, a minor robber baron who mysteriously disappeared in 1899. Granted, odd things happen in Eureka Springs, the most mentioned town in Ripley's Believe it or Not. But for Granddad to say that he'd found Thackery's bones inside a wax statue of Henry VIII that has been standing in the local museum for well over a hundred years went beyond the pale, even for Eureka.

Is his story true or simply the fantasy of an elderly mind?

Of course everyone had assumed old Thackery was moldering somewhere by now but, as the family elders like to say, his money is still good. Unfortunately, Thackery's wife had locked his twenty-two million in an irrevocable trust that could only be claimed by the person who discovered his fate. His descendants, an unruly assortment of dethroned aristocrats, would gladly knock off their favorite uncle to lay hands on the fortune.

Then Alistair is found dead at the bottom of a long concrete staircase.

Twenty-two million dollars is a powerful motivation for murder. To Meg it makes her family the most likely suspects-but they're not the only ones. When Meg learns that certain townspeople are seething with motives as well, it's up to her to sort facts from lies. Can she nail her grandfather's killer and put him in the slammer before she finds herself knocking on heaven's door?

"So Dead" is a romp through family chaos and small town drama. It is filled with chuckles, pathos, love, anger, secrets, fear, hope, and the strength born of one woman's dogged determination to risk everything for the truth.
