The Riddle At Lost Acres

The estate of Lost Acres, an enclave in the Hill Country of Central Texas, guarded its secrets well, repelling incursions from profit -crazed developers as well as harmless birders lusting for a glimpse of the threatened golden-cheeked warbler. For Dennis Chipperton, Lost Acres was a haunted woodland, beset with memories and manifestations of forbidden romance. His obsession for love lost, suppressed in secret for two decades, emerged to consume him when he was awarded a literary residency at the mansion of Lost Acres. Somewhere in the cedar brakes, Dennis was convinced, he would find the answer to the riddle of Sara Ann's death: was it an accident, suicide-or murder? The secrets he uncovered in his quest were more startling and deadly than he could have imagined.
