Murder at the St. Louis Worlds Fair (Paperback)

When construction workers begin to demolish the temporary buildings of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, they discover a mummy incased in an obelisk of the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy. Lt. Harrigan immediately responds to the call and is shocked to learn the deceased is Texas Ranger Henry Jones, whom he'd briefly met three years before. Investigations reveal Jones's connection with the St. Louis World's Fair general manager, Konrad Meirs, and a private rivalry between Meirs and his brother-in-law, Paul Rheinholtza gambler with Sicilian mafia connections. Harrigan also uncovers why Jones traveled to St. Louis without his partner Thomas Brown those last few days of his life. A ranger's life is never free from danger, especially when he's hunting renown bank robber, Ben Kilpatrick, but could Jones's murder have been strategically planned by those closest to him? Or was he simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Join J. C. R. and Sally A. Forehand as they lead you back in time to investigate the Murder at the St. Louis World's Fair in this twisting tale of robbery, vengeance, and deceit.
