Our Newest Book NOW AVAILABLE! Murder on Mount MonadnockBy J. S. WinterWhen the daughter of vaudeville singer Lillie Langtry is found dead at the bottom of the Black Precipice on Mount Monadnock in the summer of 1910, local police call it an unfortunate accident. Others think foul play may have been involved and hire Boston detective Robert de La Tour to investigate. With his brother, Eugene, a Boston reporter, they follow clues from the Halfway House to the Dublin Art Colony and Pumpelly Cave before arriving at the exciting conclusion. Along the way they meet Mark Twain, Abbott Thayer, Franklin Roosevelt, Robert Frost, Red Sox pitcher Smoky Joe Wood, boxer Jack Johnson and a host of other famous visitors to the area.
