Synopsis

After Laura Preston Fane's young sons find the dead bodies of a star quarterback and his girlfriend, the bumbling police quickly deem it a murder-suicide. Disbelief sparks an undercover investigation by Laura and unlikely collaborators: the town's financier, the new Presbyterian minister, and a Lloyd's of London detective. Together, they uncover connections between the murders, Wall Street visitors, weapons stashes, and a fiery nighttime visit by the Ku Klux Klan, while President Roosevelt recuperates close by and Hitler gains momentum across the pond. When the quartet discovers deceit within their families, will they become the next targets? Set in the volatile period between the great wars, Book Two of The Preston Chronicles illuminates the timeless tension between ethics and scarcity and raises the question: Can murder really be for the "greater good"?
