Rumors of Roderick Hall — Marty Langenberg

Rumors about the derelict house I inherited after my mother's death, were made worse by the discovery of a skeleton in the adjacent barn. Solving that mystery almost cost me my life, but as the beautifully restored house is now my new home, I'm eager to learn more about it and the history of Millers Track, the dirt road on which it stands.My approach to Amelia, proud owner of Roderick Hall and president of the Scottsferne Historical Society, is initially rebuffed. When a mutilated body is discovered on her extensive property, I reach out to support her and we become fast friends. As police struggle to identify the corpse, more rumors emerge, and gossip abounds. The recovery of a long-lost book provides fresh rumors about my old house, and Scottsferne's history. It also brings Amelia's heritage into question, and resurrects the legend of a lost Spanish treasure on Victoria's shipwreck coast; but is it fact or fiction?It is Rex, my faithful canine companion, who eventually leads the way to discover answers to rumors and bring fugitives to justice.
