When Midland Airlines Flight 3182 falls from the sky and kills Callan Morrow’s best friend, Callan wants to know what went wrong. Unsatisfied by the official account, he uses his audit and forensic-accounting skills to investigate further, but instead of closure, he finds collusion by the aircraft’s manufacturer, third-party maintenance and inspection contractors, and the federal government. Callan’s wife, Terese, content with their secure suburban lifestyle, encourages her husband to relinquish his pursuit to hold those companies accountable. Although he relents, a series of events and circumstances bring them both back to the source of the accident, requiring them to question how far one must go to do what is right. Should they risk affecting those they love? Seeking the answer leads the Morrows into the midst of unethical business practices, government bribes, and murder.

A 5 Star Review for ‘In Search of Jane Austen’
If you're wondering whether or not to pick up a copy of Ken Methold's latest book, In Search of Jane Austen, this great review should convince you. It was written by one of the Awesome Indies Book Awards assessors Charles Ray.

Coming soon: In Search of Jane Austen: An Investigation of a Life by Ken Methold
What I like about this short book on the life of Jane Austen is that it deals with biographical material in a unique and interesting way. Though the story of Jane’s life that amateur sleuth Sarah Kedron uncovers is true, the story of Sarah Kedron’s investigation is fictional. Considering that there is still some confusion over the details of Jane’s life, this book is an excellent and entertaining way of learning the facts. DESCRIPTION After Jane Austen’s death at the tragically young age of forty-two, her brother Henry published a brief biography of her life which seemed to contradict the view of others who’d known her. Intrigued by the mystery of the conflicting stories, the Prince Regent’s librarian asks Regency playwright and amateur detective Sarah Kedron to uncover the truth about Jane. Sarah takes up the challenge and interviews family members, publishers, friends, in fact, everyone who could throw some light on matter. This fascinating account of Jane’s life is … [Read more...]
