Lee and Miranda Book: The Seeker

By M.A. Russell

Exactly one day after being fired from his latest job, up-and-coming editor Lee Perkins receives a letter in the mail from an old friend, retired FBI agent Miranda Witherspoon. The next thing he knows, he's heading down to Bridgetown to help investigate a series of old letters-ones that seem to hold important information about an unsolved murder case straight out of the 1960s. They're written by a troubled, narcissistic young barmaid named Lillian Grace, trapped in a life of misery: married to a man named George, but deeply in love with a man named Burt Grayson, who's known for fighting, drinking, and spending time in the rougher part of town. After Grayson was found in a dark alley with his throat slit, police closed the case, citing a lack of evidence-but according to Lillian's letters to Grayson's sister, it was a cover-up to protect the identity of the real murderer. Lee's experience as a researcher and editor drive him to follow the trail and listen to his instincts. Lee is compelled to get to the bottom of this long-buried case, and he's developing his own suspicions about who the killer might be. But fifty years later, new evidence is hard to come by-and many key witnesses have gone to the grave with the information that would bring Grayson's killer to justice. As determined as he is inquisitive, Lee will have to dig through decades of secrets and lies in order to bring the truth to the surface. Time stops for no one, however, and turning back the clock will be more difficult than expected-especially if it means going up against those who have spent half a century doing everything they can to conceal what really happened that night. After fifty years, is it possible for a murder case to receive closure, and for a killer to receive the justice he or she has always deserved? Or will Lee find himself stuck in the past, haunted by the remains of a potentially shocking case of small-town conspiracy? Dizzying and fast-paced, Lee and Miranda-The Seeker takes a look at just how far some people will go to forget and protect a tragic secret, even when its only remains linger in memories of the distant past. But when just one seeker embarks on a dogged pursuit of the truth, scratching and picking at the scabs that cover those long-held secrets, the results can prove extraordinary-forcing the truth to finally emerge, and making it impossible for those memories to remain buried any longer.
