SUMMARY:Deadly Gold Rush: Stories from Charlotte's 1830s Gold Rush and a Modern Day Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday morning to hear from the author of the new history mystery: Deadly Gold Rush: An Indie Retirement Mystery. Landis Wade will discuss the real stories behind the book\, discuss his writing process\, and offer a chance to dig into the history of gold mining in the Queen City. After the talk\, join us on a guided tour of the 1774 Rock House – Charlotte oldest building – and see a cooking demonstration on an original kitchen hearth led by Janet Wade. \nSigned copies of books will be available for purchase at the event. \nMore information about the book: \nWhen a shady real estate developer is found murdered beneath Harriet Keaton’s family home—shot\, stabbed\, and surrounded by rare 1830s gold coins—her estranged twin brother Joey is the prime suspect. He insists he’s innocent…but won’t name the real culprit. With Joey refusing to talk and millions missing from the retirement accounts\, the future of the Independence Retirement Community is suddenly on the line. Now\, whipsmart Harriet and her sleuthing partners—Craig Travail (savvy lawyer\, reluctant romantic) and Yeager Alexander (conspiracy theorist\, resident rabble-rouser)—must dig into the past to solve the crime. Their best lead? A decades-old memoir from Harriet’s treasure-obsessed father and whispers of a long-lost gold hoard. But treasure has a way of attracting trouble. As fortunes vanish and suspects multiply\, the trio must untangle two decades of betrayal—before the killer strikes again.
