Sinopse

In "Maximilian in Mexico," J. Kemper masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricacies of the Second Mexican Empire and the controversial reign of Emperor Maximilian I. The book employs a blend of thorough historical research and engaging storytelling, presenting both the political machinations and personal anecdotes that defined this turbulent period. Kemper's literary style is marked by vivid descriptions and a nuanced understanding of the cultural and socio-political landscape of 19th-century Mexico, situating the events within the broader context of American interventions and European imperialism. J. Kemper, an esteemed historian with a focus on Latin American studies, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insight to this work. His scholarly background, combined with a passion for understanding the complexities of historical narratives, allows him to illuminate the paradoxes and conflicts faced by Maximilian and his supporters. Kemper's extensive research into archival materials enriches the text, creating a multifaceted portrayal of a figure often relegated to the margins of history. "Maximilian in Mexico" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, politics, and culture. Kemper's ability to distill complex events into an accessible narrative makes this book essential for scholars, students, and casual readers alike, inviting them to re-evaluate their perceptions of empire and governance in the context of Mexico's past.

    Still reeling from the dangers of a recent case, forensic genealogist RaeJean Hunter takes on a supposedly routine case to locate the missing heir of a woman she met in Central Park a year ago. Tantalized by a hefty income, she accepts. But there's a catch—she must find the heir within six months or the forty-million-dollar estate is donated to a local university. With the tight deadline comes the chance of a sizeable bonus, a series of unforeseen obstacles, and the unexpected connection to a cold case from 1910, when perfume heiress Dorothy Arnold disappeared without a trace. 
     
     
     
    Armed with only her genealogical skills, the books and historical documents she unearths, and an antique doll that seems to be guiding her toward the answers she needs, RaeJean faces dangerous events that threaten to shatter her world and challenge her to meet the deadline. Her travels throughout the United States and New Zealand in search of answers bring with it its own question: Will she find the heir before time runs out? 
     
     
     
    But someone doesn't want her to solve the case. The clock is ticking, and it will take every ounce of grit RaeJean has to solve this mystery and outwit the dangers that threaten her present while she sifts through the past.
