Hairy Jack

By T.J. Laverne

A mysterious death at an archaeological dig, a skeleton buried among the hydrangeas, a magical grimoire, and a strange black dog following murder victims.... Can Wyatt and Ivy find the connection before it's too late? A glamorous murder mystery set in the Roaring Twenties, Mississippi, "Hairy Jack" will delight readers with everything from jazz, vaudeville and flappers, to ancient artifacts, magic, and, of course, murder, reminiscent of the great murder mysteries of Agatha Christie. While on an Archaeology dig in Turkey in 1924, Dr. Saul Griffin dies under mysterious circumstances shortly after revealing to his nephew, Wyatt, that he has a treasure trove of valuable mythical artifacts, including the Book of Solomon. Wyatt returns home to Mississippi only to find that his lifelong friend, Ivy, has discovered the skeleton of a recent murder victim buried in her garden. When the skeleton is identified as the colleague of Wyatt's dead uncle, he suspects the deaths are related, and that his uncle was murdered for his magical artifacts. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Wyatt and Ivy embark on an amateur murder investigation, discovering a world of magic they had never believed existed. Meanwhile, a mysterious black "ghost" dog named Hairy Jack, who is seen following the murder victims close to their deaths, begins to follow Wyatt...
