Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Skeletons sometimes talk to us from the grave," said Grandpa Niall in a four-way phone conversation with his grandchildren, Brooks, Eliza, and Austin, teenagers who make up the B.E.A.Wares Detective Agency. If Grandpa was right, a murder took place in the dark of night, more than thirty years ago in the tiny village of Cassel, California, located in the intermountain area featuring Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta, world-famous volcanic mountains in northern California. A cold case if there ever was one, it became suddenly current once heavy November rains, a mud slide, and a visiting dog partially uncovered an unmarked grave containing a full skeleton. A DNA sample soon identified it as belonging to a prominent attorney who had disappeared 30 years before. Unlikely twists and turns led to the involvement of prominent figures in the Northern California community and the possibility of prison time for local Native Americans and for one of the wealthiest ranchers and property owners in the area. A retired FBI agent, now Sheriff, was called in, but was only slightly interested until Grandpa disappeared. The tale of intrigue, murder, kidnapping, and greed continued to excite Grandpa and the B.E.A.Wares. However unlikely finding the killer may have been, the cold case sparked interest and some fear in the small communities in Northern California, as the antagonism between the ranching community and the Native Americans rose like the memories of a distant past. Well-established interests were threatened as well. For more of Niall Magill's books, please check out our website: Thanks! This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Halloween Horror weaves together several threads of recent American history. The story features the problems of the undocumented aliens, especially from Mexico, the desire to seek revenge against the "gringos" by a radical group of students at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, the problem of keeping faith with constitutional and human values brought on by the 911 tragedy in New York, and the relationship between federal and local authorities. The deadly anthrax powder, the masked celebrations of Halloween, and the lingering American concern about communism played out in a threat designed to kill more than 500 Americans on this joyous holiday of fun and merriment. An excessive governmental effort to deport Dr. Alejandro Alvarez, the highly respected head of three generations of the Alejandro Alvarez and his wife, undocumented immigrants, who had lived in the United States for fifty years served to radicalize students at the University of Nebraska. The threat to deport the senior Alvarez's accompanied by a vicious and humiliating physical attack on Dr. Alvarez by officers of Homeland Security Department contributed directly to the planned attack on Americans, old and young. Grandpa Niall was a visiting professor at the University of Nebraska for that year. Through a stroke of fate, he found himself involved in the case when Brooks, the oldest of the B.E.A.Wares, who was attending the University and a close friend of Juan Alvarez, grandson of Alejandro, sought his advice on how to avoid the disaster which threatened to kill so many people.
