The Transcendental Murder // The Minuteman Murder — Jane Langton

SCANDALOUS TRANSCENDENTAL LOVE LETTERS LEAD TO A SHOCKING DOUBLE MURDER.

The peaceful little town of Concord, Massachusetts, is best known as the birthplace of the American Revolution and the home of the Transcendentalists--Thoreau, Emerson, and the Alcotts. Then some letters surface suggesting that the famous thinkers did more together than think, and two of Concord's prominent citizens end up dead. It's up to Lieutenant-Detective (and Emersonian scholar) Homer Kelly and the beautiful Mary Morgan to piece together the bizarre clues and catch a transcendental murderer.
