Dr. Zebulon McKee — Doc to those who know him well and look up to him not only as their doctor but also a leader of the community — is a former civil war medical officer whose battlefield experience compounded by unresolved conflict with his deceased father leads to tragedy. Though a hero to most in northwest Missouri, Doc couldn’t resist heavy-handed control of the family some thought ultimately murdered him. Even in death, however, it is he who continues to drive the actions of his family, which eventually leads to unintended consequences and an ending that is impossible to forget. This fictionalized account of a true story of murder, secrets, and greed will have you hanging on every word as the story unfolds through courtroom drama and family tragedy to its immutable conclusion.

Upon concluding a successful thirty-year career in university level teaching, mostly at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, Don retired and began examining his list of activities that would occupy the next stage of his life. Traveling with his wife, enjoying his three children and their families, and catching up on neglected relationships occupied the earliest stages of retirement. Of course golfing with friends, avidly following the St. Louis Cardinals, and renewing a long ignored interest in Civil War history were also high on the list. Then one day, a small cemetery he had driven past for years on his way to and from school again caught his eye. Perusal of a related collection of nineteenth century newspaper articles compiled by a local historian further fueled his curiosity. As he investigated, he became convinced there was more to the story. Possessing an active imagination, he soon found himself wanting to fill in what he saw as the blank spaces necessary to complete it. With that, a ten-year project was conceived and after countless setbacks and incalculable learning, Died Innocent was delivered.
