main characters, the Sleuth & Scribe series is safe for
children and fun to read for adults who enjoy cozy mysteries.
In 1969, the body of a young woman was found at the bottom
of a fire escape. It was Mike Holden’s first case. The police,
eventually, decided it was an accident but Mike was never
convinced it wasn’t murder.
Forty years later, an old memory causes Mike to reopen the
case.
Follow Mike as the Sleuth, Alice as the Scribe, and Mike’s
dog, Deke as they chase down old leads and historic memories
of the Weather Underground, the Vietnam War, and the Peace
Corps in Thailand.
We are all the sum of our past experiences. Although fictionalized, Rudolph, a Child's Love Story
was written as therapy and as an effort to make sense of an unhappy
childhood. I needed to put my past behind me and to move on.
As I wrote it, some wonderful things happened. I realized that children
who felt unwanted, unloved, and unaccepted might benefit from it.
Perhaps, through my words, they too would discover the power of knowing
they are worthy of love and happiness.
Perhaps, I could help to heal the hurt and stop the pain. Perhaps, like me, they would also begin to understand and forgive.
When Jane finds her father's crumpled body on the carpet in his office
at the used car dealership, she is convinced he was murdered, although
the police believe it was a heart attack.
Jane hires a private
detective; Mike; Deke, his dog; and Alice, a mystery writer, to prove
her theory.
All of the employees at the car lot, including Jane, have a
motive and it's up to the sleuth and scribe to uncover which of them had
a strong enough reason to kill the boss, if indeed he was killed.
