Where's Merrill? a genealogical thriller

Where's Merrill? a genealogical thriller

â€œWhereâ€™s Merrill?â€ is a uniquely crafted mystery thriller based upon real life historical events. In fact, it is two inter-related stories in one novel set in different time-frames, namely the past and the present. An Irish genealogist called Jed is commissioned by Tim, an American client, who needs to understand more about his mysterious maternal ancestry. Fate had dictated that Tim never got the chance to meet his grandparents, and he didnâ€™t even know the name of his motherâ€™s father. She refused to tell Tim, even on her death bed. Why? That was a question which troubled Tim as he witnessed his mother's melancholy throughout his adult life, and after her death he resolves to find some answers - and some peace of mind.
It was also a question which intrigues Jed after he learns that Timâ€™s grandfather simply â€œdisappearedâ€. No death record, no burial - nothing. Jed identifies the â€œmissingâ€ grandfather to be Merrill Harrison. Within weeks, Jed becomes obsessed with Merrillâ€™s life, as he embarks on a personal crusade to find Merrillâ€™s resting place on Tim's behalf. More fundamentally, Jed needs to fully understand the complex twists and turns linked to Merrillâ€™s existence and eventual disappearance which take the Irish researcher on a fascinating trail stretching back to the pioneering immigrants of Midwest America all the way to the White House during WWII.
A web of worrying deceit woven by Timâ€™s ancestors is gradually unraveled. Once hidden family secrets are exposed. Jed turns from genealogist into cold case detective as he comes to the conclusion that multiple criminal misdeeds have been covered up â€¦ but where is Merrill?
