Killing Cousins

di Rett MacPherson (Autore)

Minotaur Books, 2010

A Decades-Old Kidnapping, a Dead Stranger, and a Town in Turmoil Missouri genealogist Torie O'Shea, itching to get back to work after the birth of her third child, takes on a new project: researching and writing a book about a recently deceased local jazz singer who rose to fame in the 1930s and '40s. But as Torie delves into the woman's past, she uncovers a startling tragedy—the singer's infant son was kidnapped from his cradle in 1938 and never seen again. In the present day, the mayor of New Kassell is pushing to legalize riverboat gambling in the quaint, historic village, a move that has Torie and her neighbors up in arms. As Torie works to stop the mayor's plan, she can't shake the mystery of the missing child from decades past. When a stranger turns up dead in town, the community is thrown into further chaos. Armed with her expertise in genealogy, her knack for small-town politics, and her dogged perseverance, Torie must unravel the truth behind a bizarre crime from the past that reaches into the present, all while fighting to preserve the character of her beloved hometown.
