From the piedmont hills of Athens, Georgia to New York, Philadelphia, London and beyond, Murder and the Silent Coup follows young Laura Preston, the daughter of a wealthy landowner. Through her social and philanthropic training, she advances to the prestigious "Social 400" yet returns to her hometown to marry. When her battle-scarred husband decides to run for attorney general, Laura finds herself and her family amid political turmoil following WWI. Will his aspirations to support FDR and her disregard for the Southern social norms push those with political clout to the point of murder? Murder and the Silent Coup explores the corrupting nature of wealth and the needs of the unemployed in the time of Franklin Roosevelt. It holds a shattered mirror to America's current economic, social, and political drama. Murder and the Silent Coup is Book One of The Preston Chronicles.
