North by Northwest (Western series Book 1)

For a young boy of twelve to witness a murder is a terrible tragedy, but it doesn’t end there. The lad is shackled by the unexplained mystery and cannot tell a soul about it. Snooping in Mr. Blake Thomas’ private Pullman on that dreadful night, he was not supposed to see him kill a beautiful young woman. Something had enraged the rich old man. Now a person lay dead on the floor, and the young boy would surely be murdered too if caught hiding in the closet. As he held his breath, another corpse fell to the floor only feet away. Then something strange happened. A young girl could be heard crying just out of view. An intriguing item rolled toward his hiding place, landing at his feet. Silence followed. Reaching down, he picked up a key and carefully placed it in his pocket. The fearful lad carried that burden with him from then on. Now ten years later, Brett Marshall is determined to solve the mystery of that haunting experience. The powerful man had many secrets and carried them to the grave with him, but Brett had in his possession the code if only he could figure it out. In the beginning the trail is cold. However, in the end, it gets hot as blazes, and people are chasing after him as he follows the mysterious code: North by Northwest.
