The Unspeakable Secret of King's Crossing

Adults and young adults: The Unspeakable Secret of King's Crossing is a modern-day mystery set in a tiny town in north-central Arkansas. Jack, home from college for the summer, sets out to write the history of his village, which harbors a deep, dark, secret that the townsfolk seem determined to protect. The lives of Jack and his best friend, Mac, are threatened. His best lifelong friend, Jenny, an employee of the local newspaper, assists him, while others look on offering less than their blessing: Jackie, his mother, Mr. Perry, the editor, Mr. Jackson, a former high school teacher, Miss Baker, county records department, and others. The final twist makes it all come clear. If you love a good mystery, substance beyond a story, suspense, excitement, sprinkled with smiles and belly laughs, you are in for a treat. (The author has more than 170 novels to his credit.)
