“A Motif for Murder”
February 14 – September 28
by Avery William Klees
Dearest Friends and Family,
You are all cordially invited to the retirement party of possibly the most famous Jazz Pianist of the 1930s. Miles Bishop has decided that it’s finally time to turn in the ivories and settle into the simple life. But before he does, he is going out in style with a ride on the historic Strasburg Rail Road that will be full of music, laughter, and friends.
∼ ∼ ∼
Unfortunately, things didn’t go quite as planned. Join Detective Sterling Hawthorn as he uncovers the truths of a life of fame and fortune, while the twists and turns of the track reflect the life of a man who has found great success but may have ruined the lives of others to get there. Who could the killer be? The high-powered agent, the famous singer, a jealous friend, or even the barman? It’s anyone’s guess!
