  THE SUMMER OF LOVE AND DEATH by Marcy McCreary August 19 - September 13, 2024 Virtual Book Tour Synopsis: A Ford Family Mystery   The summer of ’69: memorable for some, murder for others. Detective Susan Ford and her new partner, Detective Jack Tomelli, are called to a crime scene at the local summer stock theater where they find the director of Murder on the Orient Express gruesomely murdered—naked, face caked in makeup, pillow at his feet, wrists and ankles bound by rope.

But when Susan and Jack discover the old case files, his memories start trickling back. And with each old and new clue, Susan, Jack, and Will must narrow down the pool
