Dangerous Journeys 01: Murderous Roots
Virginia WintersNEW EDITION - GOLD QUALITY MARK RECEIVED
Scandal, blackmail, and murder haunt the small Vermont town of Culver's Mills.
Pediatrician and amateur genealogist Anne McPhail seeks the history of her ancestors. She finds the dead body of librarian Jennifer Smith, the woman she planned to meet and her journey takes a dangerous detour into Jennifer's past of extortion and blackmail.
Anne is drawn further into the investigation by detective Adam Davidson, to help him understand the genealogy and the possible motives behind the murder. Who among the elites in the small Vermont town of Culver's Mills has enough reason to kill—one of the founding families or a chiropractor, or a grandmother?
Anne, a young widow, is attracted to local businessman Thomas Beauchamp, but will the investigation engulf his family as well?
Genealogy in the midst of a murder investigation reveals secrets, secrets that threaten Anne's life, before she exposes the killer in their midst.
