Death at Mount Rushmore
(2025)(The third book in the Sally Harper Mystery series)
A Story by Josie Lovell and Maisy Marple
Stone faces can't speak... but they can hide secrets worth killing for.
Retired librarian Sally Harper and her loyal German Shepherd, Agatha, are ready for a peaceful vacation at their third national park. Mount Rushmore's majestic presidential faces seem to promise nothing more dramatic than spectacular views and fascinating history.
But when park historian Diana Chambers is found dead after a special sunrise tour, Sally's keen eye for detail spots inconsistencies that park authorities are quick to dismiss. Diana had discovered something hidden within Washington's granite face—something that wasn't in the original blueprints.
As Sally investigates, she encounters a cast of suspicious characters: Harold Bennett, a bow-tied presidential historian obsessed with a legendary "Borglum Medallion"; the Millers, wealthy art collectors with an unusual interest in "recovering" historical artifacts; a quiet photographer who knows the monument's hidden passages a little too well; and a conservator who might be hiding crucial evidence.
Using her librarian's research skills and Agatha's uncanny instincts, Sally uncovers a web of deception stretching back to the monument's creation. Could a rare platinum-gold medallion hidden by sculptor Gutzon Borglum himself be worth committing murder for?
With the presidents' stone faces watching over her, Sally races to piece together clues before the killer strikes again. But when her RV is searched and her evidence stolen, it's clear someone will stop at nothing to keep Mount Rushmore's secrets carved in stone.
"Death at Mount Rushmore" continues the delightful Sally Harper Mysteries series, perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, national park settings, and clever heroines who prove retirement can be anything but boring!
