The Red Seal

The story opens in police court, where a house-breaking case unfolds with deadly consequences. James Turnbull, a seemingly respectable bank cashier, lies dead after being discovered disguised as a burglar in a house that isn't his own. The circumstances of his death raise more questions than answers: Was he the thief or the victim? And what does the mysterious red seal found among his possessions have to do with any of it? Helen McIntyre, one of the wealthy Colonel McIntyre's twin daughters, watches the proceedings with growing unease. She knows more than she's saying about the dead man, and as the investigation deepens, she finds herself entangled in a web of love, deception, and dark secrets that threaten her family and her future. A twisting mystery where nothing and no one is quite what they seem, and the truth hides behind closed doors in 1920s Washington.
