The Peace Party Massacre
Reader’s Review
” Finely crafted suspenseful mystery including a kidnapping, an outlaw, a conflicted city, and men willing to do whatever must be done for the good of all. This story is too short to be summarized, but it is well worth reading. You won’t be sorry you did! ”

The Peace Party Massacre: A 19th Century Historical Murder Mystery (The Agora Mystery Series Book 3)
Kidnapped! An honorable man has gone missing and his wife is not in the least helpful. The sheriff dithers and every day brings death closer to a reality.
It is late 1865. After hostilities cease, the Agora Society, led by the indomitable Carl Brooke, sends a group to aid the reconstruction of Wilmington Port in North Carolina and to encourage its sister society, the Nec Temere.
Unknown to the volunteers, a heinous crime has been committed, creating a greater urgency for the Agora’s more…colorful services.
This is a story of a near death, a murder, and the letter that introduces Carl Brooke to “the figure that looms so vividly” in his nightmares.
Nec Temere, Nec Timide
