Title: The transcendental murder
Description: The peaceful 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 Emerson scholar) Homer Kelly and the beautiful Mary Morgan to piece together the bizarre clues and catch a transcendental murderer.
