A Cold Case of Murder
by Eddie Thomas
Ten-year-old Colter Hawkins is not satisfied with the town fathers’ solution about the drowning of his classmate, Clara Bracy. When Colter’s best friend, Tommy, the mayor’s son, is subjected to a lobotomy, clues mount, and Colter is convinced that Clara’s death was murder. In fear of retribution, he remains silent to the adult world. His only confidant is his girlfriend Lindsey.
Colter moves away from town with lingering questions that grow into an obsession he carries into his adult life. When his father dies, he receives information regarding the powerful murderer, now the state’s governor. But, when he discovers Lindsey’s secret, which commands her loyalty to the governor, he realizes it is time for a confrontation.
