The Trials of Marcus Clemens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737969211)

In the spring of 1963, eleven-year-old Marcus Clemens leads a simple, unassuming life with his widowed stepmother, Margaret, in a small Missouri town along the banks of the Mississippi River....until the fateful day, while passing through a local cemetery, his world is changed forever. The frightening experience is but a precursor to several mysterious encounters that will connect Marcus to events beyond anything he is prepared to face. He soon finds himself embroiled in an ongoing homicide investigation that seems to have tentacles reaching far too close.

Family secrets and suspicious relatives wreak havoc on his young life as Marcus and his friend Cassie, aided by a completely unexpected source, struggle to make sense of the unlikely and improbable, while striving to ensure their own survival.
