The Case of the Troubled Tycoon
(2021)(The fifth book in the Shipwreck Point Mystery series)
A novel by Elise M Stone
A power struggle for a prominent position. A forbidden romance about to be exposed. A desperate deed that could solve both problems.
Titus Strong finds himself in a once familiar situation—a gathering of the distinguished, wealthy members of the upper class. When he’d moved to this small seaside town, he thought he’d left all of that behind.
The gentlemen have need of a counselor to draw up documents for the establishment of the Whitby Yacht Club, and who better to call upon than the town’s most famous lawyer? It’s a simple task that will bring him a healthy fee to tide him over until he acquires additional clients.
But when one of the rivals for commodore of the club is found murdered in his study, the attorney’s role undergoes a sudden change. Although reluctant, he agrees to employ his skills in defense of one of the members, even though he’s not sure of his innocence.
Is he once again trapped into defending a guilty man? Or is his new client truly blameless?
The only way he’ll find out is to lead his own investigation in a search for the killer. Along with his secretary, Elisabeth Wade, and former Pinkerton Detective Owen Campbell, Titus must once again solve a murder.
Genre: Historical Mystery
