Ancient Legacies Unleashed

a mystery novel by Alan Beske

The Protagonists

The Story

 

Ryan Anderson

Sarah Fleming

Rebecca Chan

Ryan, Sarah, and Rebecca, beginning freshmen at Chancellor University, became progressively fascinated with the deaths of several prominent citizens who died under bizarre circumstances.  Their curiosity drew them from the streets of Atlanta to the mountains of North Georgia as they tried to unravel the mysteries which had the authorities baffled.

The Suspects

These bright and resourceful students concluded that the murderer was patterning his killings after figures from Greek mythology.  All evidence suggested that one of their history professors was the culprit……the question was, which history professor?

The Setting

The novel is set in Atlanta and the North Georgia Mountains in the present.  Atlanta action takes place on the fictitious Chancellor University campus, in suburban Roswell and at various sites throughout the city.  North Georgia action occurs in Dahlonega, Big Canoe, along the Appalachian Trail, and at a marble quarry.

The Audience

Anyone who likes an intriguing and action-packed mystery will like this book.  It should be of particular interest to future, present, and former college students and to readers with an interest in Greek mythology.  History buffs will appreciate the link between ancient Greek legacies and this modern-day crime drama.
