THE ELSON LEGACY: An Alton Rhode Mystery (ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES Book 6)

LAWRENCE DE MARIA'S ACCLAIMED THRILLERS AND MYSTERIES HAVE "A TOUCH OF BOURNE, A DASH OF BOND AND A SPRIG OF SPENSER". (John Crudele, the New York Post)

Alton Rhode is feeling a bit lonely â€“ and depressed. Just about everyone he knows, including his girlfriend, is out of town.

Then, Laurene Robillard walks into his office.

At first, he does not recognize the beautiful, mature woman. She has changed dramatically since posing as a dying waif years earlier as part of a plot that almost cost Rhode his life.

The former hooker is now respectable, very rich and soon to be married. But she needs Rhodeâ€™s help.

Someone has murdered her grandfather, Colver Elson, a man she has just reconnected with after tracking down her birth mother in Atlas, Virginia.

Laurene trusts Rhode, who protected her even when he figured out her part in the earlier conspiracy.

The private eye heads south, where he soon discovers that the murder of Elson, a prominent judge, is not the only evil lurking in the small Virginia town. Someone also wants Rhode dead before he can uncover a scheme involving powerful local figures.

With two killers straight out of "Deliverance" on his tail, Rhode accepts help from someone even tougher than he is, and the bodies start to pile up.
