MINING FOR JUSTICE

Kathleen Ernst

A Chloe Ellefson Mystery

A crime-solving duo, one a curator, the other a cop, solve mysteries in their Midwestern small town. Their romance isn't dead, but the bodies sure are!
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.
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 mine 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, Chloe must unearth dark secrets, past and present... before a killer comes to bury her, too.

The CHLOE ELLEFSON mysteries have emotional cliffhangers and feel-good endings, all featuring their independent, crime-solving heroine. Characters, past and present, come alive with witty dialog and distinctive voices. Unless, of course, they're murdered!

The series has sold more than 105,000 copies in the US. The first three books are available on audio through Tantor Media. The books were serialized on American public radio this summer, reaching over 300,000 listeners. There are currently seven books published with two more contracted.

KATHLEEN ERNST is an Emmy-award-winning author, TV director/scriptwriter, and social historian. The CHLOE ELLEFSON mystery series has sold more than 105,000 copies to date and has won a LOVEY Best Traditional Mystery Award, joining the ranks of Lee Child and Jeffrey Deaver.
