The Plan

Susan Klopfer

Starting in New York City, The Plan quickly moves to the Mississippi Delta and winds up in Ecuador. Based on a true story of two murdered civil rights lawyers, Susan Klopfer’s intriguing work weaves factual history through alternative or paranormal fiction themes. The tight bond between Clinton and Joe, two gay, black lawyers is broken when Joe (openly married to a knockout blond woman) is reportedly found hanged. Moore believes Joe Means was tortured and murdered (not a suicide, as Joe’s cagey wife insists), and that his and Joe’s shared obsession—investigating the cover-ups of various murders and assassinations of civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and President John Kennedy—is the reason for Joe’s death. Clinton also believes he is next on a hit list, and that solving Joe’s murder is his only chance of survival. When he discovers Joe’s wife, Tara, was spirited away as an expat to South America, he sends his trusted Spanish-speaking legal assistant, Mollie Johnson, to Ecuador for the adventure of her life. But Clinton Moore is killed before Mollie even leaves the airport. Mollie responds to join forces with former Dallas journalist Sara Mercury, and together they take readers into the high Andes to bring home Joe’s widow who they believe is in serious danger. Filled with more than enough civil rights and alternative history to titillate the most sophisticated conspiracy theorist, Klopfer‘s first foray into paranormal and alternative fiction is thought-provoking fodder and a fun read! Ties to the KKK, paramilitary groups (Militia), Neo Nazis, Chile's Colonia Dignidad (Paul Schaeffer and Augusto Pinochet), the NSA, FBI, CIA and the assassinations of two famous civil rights leaders and President John F. Kennedy, keep the fast pace of this historical fiction, paranormal thriller that is first of the Civil Rights Mystery Sleuth crime adventure series.

Rebel Falls - A Novel

Tim Wendel

With Rebel Falls, Tim Wendel takes us to late summer of 1864. The Civil War rages on. Sherman is marching on Atlanta, while the armies of Grant and Lee battle across Virginia. In the North, war-weariness has made Lincoln's bid for reelection seem doubtful. As the fate of the nation  hangs in the balance, Confederate agents gather in Niagara Falls to plan one last maneuver to turn the tide of the conflict. 
 
 
 
Rory Chase, a capable yet haunted young woman eager to contribute to the Union cause, accepts a mission from the Secretary of State to travel to Niagara Falls and prevent two rebel spies, John Yates Beall and Bennet Burley, from seizing the U.S.S. Michigan on Lake Erie and bombarding Buffalo, Cleveland, and other northern cities. To succeed, Rory must gain the rebel spies' trust and, with the help of the Underground Railroad network, foil their desperate gambit. But can she maintain the pretense of being a Confederate sympathizer long enough to unravel Beall and Burley's ingenious plot? 
 
 
 
With actual events underpinning the tumultuous story in Rebel Falls, a forgotten chapter in the history of the Civil War is revealed. Far from frontlines, Wendel's exciting, character-driven narrative about a consequential struggle in the shadow of Niagara Falls' dramatic beauty is gripping from start to finish.
