A Tale of Three Cities

More about the book

In this offbeat whodunit, Mayor Dankworth is found dead and the only suspect is golden-boy, high school track star Aiden Birdwhistle. Unfortunately, Aiden fled the crime scene taking refuge at a tea maker's treehouse before turning himself in to the authorities. Will Aiden be convicted of a crime that he insists he did not commit due to the ineptitude of his attorney uncle? Or will his newfound quirky friends uncover the truth in time to free him from an awful fate? A Tale of Three Cities takes place along the Scenic Solar Loop that weaves through the animated towns of Starville, Moonburg, and Sunlight City while paying homage to Dickens's classic novel from which its title is derived. The surnames in this story come from a list of eleven endangered last names more common in past centuries which are now considered to have fewer than twenty contemporary bearers possessing them.
