The Marathon Murcers by Chester Campbell

Publisher: Night Shadows Press
ISBN: 978-0-9799167-1-7
Genre: Mystery
4 bolts

Greg and Jill McKenzie are drawn into a mystery of a vanished construction worker and some papers found behind the wall of an old building. The client tells them the story began with an embezzlement charge on another man who disappeared when accused and his bones were found five years later. The case went nowhere after that.

Their client is the granddaughter of the grandson of the accused man. Can Greg and Jill make any sense out of this cold case when everyone concerned with it is long dead?

Talented author Chester D. Campbell weaves a complicated tale of purpose and cross purpose as the interesting cast of characters show us their motives for doing what they do. Why did the construction worker disappear? Where are the papers? What value would they be to anyone else?

These are a few of the questions you'll want answered as you follow Greg and Jill on their investigation. Will they be stepping into danger on what started as a simple investigation into the very dim past?

Recommended as a fun read, lots of action, a well written tale to hole your attention. You'll be wanting to read other stories by this imaginative author. Enjoy. I did.
