The Plan: A Historical eNovel By Susan Klopfer
Set For June 2013 Release
From a church in the Mississippi Delta...
To Esmeraldas Ecuador
The Plot:
Jamie Sullivan, a private Vicksburg
detective, fatally shoots himself in the groin while perched on the corner
of his bed cleaning his favorite hunting rifle. Suicide, concludes the
Mississippi state pathologist, a man nationally known for his amazingly quick
(and frequently galling) reports. Sullivan’s death occurs six months after the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and twenty-five years before Clint
McDoo gives a damn.
McDoo, a quiet, gay Delta civil rights lawyer, has never
thought about the former FBI agent’s fishy death report until now; he hated the man. But hearing of his Alabama
colleague's sudden death, McDoo sets Delta speed records heading for Montgomery
where his friend’s widow insists her husband killed himself, and will not let
McDoo view the body. She demands a closed casket funeral, but McDoo, adept at
quiet murder investigations from years of brave work in Mississippi, sneaks
into the funeral parlor basement to find his friend’s tortured body.
Not
surprised at what he discovers, and figuring he could be the next target because they were co-investigating a
colossal crime, McDoo flees to a quiet fishing town in Ecuador, a
little known village with relevant African history, to spend out the rest of his life. He
meets retired CIA expat, Barney Fry, who faces possible deportation over a CIA
retirement office paperwork screw-up. The intrigued old spy fleshes out
the lawyer’s story and comes up with an idea that just might save them both,
and solve two murders!
