REENACTING A MURDER
One potential witness said, "Whitey wasn't the best-liked member of the reenacting community, but who would have thought he'd end up like this?"
When Prospect, Tennessee Police Chief Sam Jenkins attends the town's annual heritage festival it not only satisfies his interest in Early American history, it draws him into the investigation of another murder on "the peaceful side of the Smokies."
Local antique dealer, G. Nobel Whitehead, has been savagely killed. As the former New York detective wades through a cadre of quirky local characters to learn how the victim's shady dealings lead to his demise, more questions keep popping up.
Did Whitehead's attraction to a half-Cherokee woman trouble her fiance enough to commit murder? Or did the victim cheat one of his customers? The only thing for certain is that someone really wanted him dead, and killed him in the foulest manner.

V IS FOR . . . VITAMIN ?
What starts out as a slam-dunk arrest of two subjects for a series of armed robberies on the greenway at Prospect, Tennessee turns into a murder investigation at a local nursing home.

Chief Sam Jenkins and his partner, Sergeant Bettye Lambert, need to crack a few tough customers: three septuagenarian female residents of the nursing home, to get the evidence, tie all the puzzle pieces together, and resolve the seemingly unrelated crimes.
