Excerpt
" The band concert was over by 9:00 p.m., just in time for
them to see the fireworks explode over the Grand Basin. All of the major buildings on the fairgrounds were outlined in electric lights, and considering the fact that 90% of the homes in America didn't have electricity at the time, it was a wonder to behold for the crowd that stayed late.
It was a silent ride back to the Mayhew mansion, but John was determined to win Victoria back if at all possible. At 3:00 George drove the surrey up to the front steps of the mansion. John didn't mention his suspicion of Sam to George on the way home. He was waiting for the right time. It was too early; they needed more evidence."
Hancock merges mystery with accurate historical facts and
a touch of romance. This smoothly written novel holds the reader captive.
