Product Description
Synopsis
Suppose that in early 1945, President Roosevelt penned a personal, clandestine letter to Adolph Hitler. What could such a letter possibly say? Captain Joseph O'Connor, U.S. Army, knows of such a letter and he also knows where it is. There's only one problem: as the result of massive brain trauma, the captain has been silent for over fifty years. Until now. Armed with information about the letter, Nikki O'Connor, the captain's granddaughter, becomes obsessed with finding it. But once the secret leaks out, Nikki is forced to compete with others in the search including a U.S. senator on the campaign trail to the White House. Should the letter be made public, it would shipwreck the senator's campaign. And somewhere in an old German POW camp that now lies buried under tons of landfill in a campground on the New England coast is the letter. It has become the Holy Grail.

Mystic Island
19 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
The best books I have read are the ones where I forgot there are words. Jan Evan Whitford's, Mystic Island, put me in that place where the "words" on the pages disappeared. Instead I engaged in what I saw, heard, touched, and felt. I not only "watched" the action, drama, and comedic scenes of this down and dirty, yet heartfelt mystery, I became a part of its life. Mystic Island is the kind of "Who done it?" that makes noise, because you get to interact with the characters, - and there are certainly some shady, as well as laugh out loud (LOL) characters on "Mystic Island". The author's knack for this type of storytelling is salient, - I will be looking for more by Mr. Whitford.

Fiction book based in RI
4 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
"Mystic Island" is a book filled with comedy, mystery, sex and violence. It is a little hard to follow, and there are many story lines but you still get pulled into the story. His style of writing is also a little primitive. It is based in "Mystic Island" which I'm pretty sure is code for Jamestown, RI. Finding a fiction book based on summers in Southern RI has long been a dream of mine, which came true when I received this book as a gift. It is mostly written through Environmental Police Officer (EPO) Nikki O'Connors view, and her dealings with the campers and fishermen of Seabreeze campground.
If you are into World War II history, especially in Narragansett Bay, I recommend this book. It even mentions Walter Schroeder's book in the middle of the story. HOWEVER, do not intend to read this book as if everything is true.. because it is a FICTION novel. I'm interested to see what else Mr. Whitford comes up with.
