The Six Mile Inn
A Lee Martin Murder Mystery
The Six Mile Inn, a mystery novel by
Lee Martin Books.
In 1819, six miles north of the antebellum
city of Charleston, South Carolina, the
beautiful proprietress of the stately inn
welcomes wayfarers with a hot meal, a
cup of her special tea and a night’s
lodging. Unfortunately, many of the
wealthier merchants who spend the night
are never heard from again.
As Chief of Constables Nathaniel Cleary,
a man with a keen perception and honed
skills, investigates the disappearance
of a Philadelphia businessman, he places
a suspicious eye on the lovely Lavinia Fisher. Cleary does battle on a daily basis with the contemptuous magistrate, Clauncey Harriman, but somehow manages to maintain civility and order to keep the inevitable powder keg from exploding.
It is also the Reverend Matthew Cowher who eyes the hostess of Six Mile House. Although he has known her since she was a child, does his interest in her go beyond the saving of her soul?
Enter John Peeples, a Georgia trapper whose horrifying night at the Inn breaks the case wide open, uncovering a most grisly scenario.
After a volatile trial, it is time for justice. But when justice is finally served, will that be the end of the story? Lavinia Fisher has something to say about that…..
