In this sequel to Strawberry Moon, Sheriff Hoss Davis of rural
Leelanau County and his deputies find they have a very high-profile
case on their hands. An internationally famous chef, known to
millions through his television show, is murdered while on vacation
in their county. It is determined that the killer must have been
one of the guests present at the chef's final summer party. The
nations media, of course, senses an opportunity for sensational
news and is watching closely, ready to pounce on any mistakes the
police might make. The problem for the Sheriff's Department: there
seem to be no clues.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman are two men whose
backgrounds were very dissimilar but whose achievements proved to
be roughly comparable--both became President of the United States.
It is, for example, ironic that the wealthy Roosevelt is best known
for his social programs and that Truman, who came from modest
circumstances in the Middle West, achieved his greatest success in
foreign affairs. This study demonstrates, with some flair, the
variety and the breadth of the American experience and provides, in
part, a credible basis for the existence of an American Dream.
