The Missing Jackal Mystery – The Cora Chronicles
The Cora Chronicles
It’s 1926. Cora Gudmundson will not yield to the pressures of marriage and forced to settle down like a proper lady of the time. Cora wants a life of adventure. She saves her money and books a cruise to London on her own. Her mother becomes appalled but her father agrees to let her go. Cora’s travel coordinator pares her up with a woman named Willie who is on the run from her abusive husband. The two become friends.
On the cruise Cora and Willie meet two young English archaeologists. One is Archie Thorogood who becomes intrigued by Cora’s adventurous personality. Brandon Williamson catches Willies’ eye. They are returning to London with a valuable Egyptian artifact locked in a black case identical to the case Cora is carrying. Her case contains two of the magical woodcarvings her family has been honor bound to protect for over 600 years. These two live woodcarvings, Arve and Ola, known as villagers, have been Cora’s friends and confidants all her life. The two friends want to share her adventure.
Now Starts The Troubles
Upon arrival in London two ruffians run off with the two identical cases. From the docks Cora and Archie goes on a mad chase through the streets of London. They return, without their cases, to find Brandon murdered. Armed only with wits and daring, Cora joins with the remaining archaeologist, Archie Thorogood. They hunt down their cases with the priceless treasures inside. Can she trust Archie? Can they avoid arrest by Scotland Yard for interfering in a murder investigation? Will they solve the murder without falling victims themselves, or worse, fall in love?
The Missing Jackal Murder is the first in the Cora Chronicles mystery series. Each standalone story features Cora’s adventures around the globe and always includes a devious and twisting murder mystery. If that’s not all, Cora encounters a mysterious magical or mystical creature to make the journey difficult.
