I am delighted to share the news that I hit “Send” last night, turning in the manuscript for the 8th Chloe Ellefson mystery, Mining For Justice.
Chloe Ellefson is excited to be learning about Wisconsin’s early Cornish immigrants and mining history while on temporary assignment at Pendarvis, a historic site in charming Mineral Point.
But when her boyfriend, police officer Roelke McKenna, discovers long-buried human remains in the root cellar of an old Cornish cottage, Chloe reluctantly agrees to dig into the historical record for answers.
She soon finds herself in the center of a heated and deadly controversy that threatens to close Pendarvis. While struggling to help the historic site, Chloe must unearth dark secrets, past and present . . . before a killer comes to bury her.
Pendarvis is a fascinating site, and Mineral Point is a fascinating town…perfect setting for a mystery!
Mining For Justice will be out in October, 2017, and is available for pre-order now (Amazon now; more vendors to come).

How wonderful, Mineral Point. While living in Madison, my husband Bob and I went there often. He spoke with pleasure of going to Pendarvis when he was a boy to visit the men who began the restoration. His monther knew them. I’ll love to visit Mineral Point again through historical fiction. Thank you Lois Scorgie

Hi Lois – I hope this book will bring back good memories! How lucky Bob was to visit Bob and Edgar, the men who started the preservation movement in Mineral Point and saved some wonderful buildings that would have been otherwise lost. I wish I could go back in time and visit them when they were serving Cornish teas!

I’m very excited that this book takes place in Pendarvis. We vacationed there a couple years ago. I look forward to seeing what this will bring for Chloe a d Roelke. Always more fun when its a place I’ve been.
