“Peter Pike and the Lincoln Love Letters,” by Neal W. Fandek
The second book in the exciting Peter Pike series asks the eternal question: What price love?
Columbia, MO, February 04, 2021 --(PR.com)-- The second in the Peter Pike series, the follow-up to “Peter Pike and the Murderous Mormons,” is here.
What’s it about?
Explosive Lincoln love letters have disappeared from a leading Midwestern university’s library - and with them, the last person to see the letters, an erratic adjunct poetry instructor named Danny Ejderhan. His fiancé Dani hires once-homeless private eye Peter Pike (he sleeps in his office now) to find Dan.
To find Dan before it’s too late, Pike must navigate a world of fluid gendering, political correctness, college race riots, musty archives and inconvenient truths while dodging wunderkind college presidents, thuggish deans from New Jersey, lovely librarians and the editors of Pendragon Letters, all of whom desperately want the missives. And on top of that, Pike is falling in love with Greta, a librarian with secrets herself.
Why all the excitement? Because these documents will upend history. The letters to and from Lincoln are not correspondence with Mary Todd, or even a woman at all. His crush is on...John Wilkes Booth.
