Magnolia Gods
Master storyteller Thomas Hollyday involves us in a tragic spy story and a non
stop search for a long missing World War Two seaplane. It's a mystery romance
filled with Hollyday's wonderful sense of place and unique Chesapeake voice.
Join him for another one of the River Sunday novels, filled with back country
cults, magic, danger and murder, as well as a heart rending tale of love between
two special people. It's a good story, well told, and not to be missed.
On July 4,
1946, Navy Captain Edward Lawson tried to fly an experimental seaplane into the
hands of the Soviet Union. The top secret plane crashed in the Atlantic Ocean
before he could succeed with his evil conspiracy, and his body and the wreck of
the plane were never found. Several decades later, Mike Howard, director of a
small aviation museum that is funded by gifts from American aircraft
manufacturers, is convinced by Lawson's grandson, Jesse, to begin a search for
the long lost wreckage of the traitor's plane.
Some of the
corporate sponsors of Mike's museum are outraged at the prospect of the
institution's involvement with the Lawson treachery and warn Mike to stop
defiling the museum with the research. Mike goes ahead anyway, not only because
of Jesse's pressure, but also because he is foremost a scholar and insists on
his institution's research independence and credibility. As he works on the
project, Mike discovers that one of those same sponsors may have its own
criminal motives for keeping the truth about the Lawson case from being
uncovered. Then Mike is framed for murders he did not commit and portrayed in
the national media as a killer. He eludes a national manhunt while he and his
loyal museum team of researchers continue their research, risking their lives as
they delve deeper and deeper into the Lawson mystery. The discoveries lead Mike
to a point of no return where he must risk all, his life and the lives of those
he loves.
