Tyrone Trotman takes early retirement from the homicide and special investigation unit of the Detroit Police Force to accept the position of Police Chief in the small town of Port Ottawa on the shores of Lake Huron. Having lost his wife in a drive-by shooting in Detroit, he is looking for a new space to settle down and quiet his inner rage. Living in a port town on the lake seems to offer him the peaceful life he hopes for. He makes an offer on a handsome old house located on Grave Street. He questions the real estate lady about a gigantic white virgin pine that dominates the front yard. With pride the real estate lady tells Trotman a story about what the community calls the Last Tree. When the first white man discovered Michigan territory in the 17th century the white pines ruled a vast forest that covered the land. During the 19th century, in less than fifty years, the lumber industry destroyed those proud woodlands. The Last Tree on Grave Street survived the mass killing. The real estate lady solemnly reports that the Last Tree still whispers with her lost sister trees. Trotman finds the history of the tree whimsical, and purchases the house and tree. However, when an unexplained death occurs on Grave Street, the citizens blame his tree and expect him to accept their conclusion. The sheriff of the county advises Trotman to go slow and honor their local legend. Trotman knows that the death of the victim was not accidental, self-inflicted, or tree-related. He is not going to let his Last Tree take the rap for a murder. When another death occurs on Grave Street, Trotman knows that there is a real killer in the sleepy town, and that he is the only one who can find out who is behind thekillings and why. Barbara Burgess has lived in Michigan all of her life. She has a BA from Wayne State University in Detroit. She has three sons and a daughter, plus eight grandchildren. She decided to write a British-type police procedural that took place in a small Michigan town. "Death on Grave Street" is the first.

Grave sites not only offer the contemporary viewer the physical markers of those remembered but also a wealth of information about the era in which the cemeteries were created. These markers hold keys to our historical past and allow an entry point of interrogation about who is represented, as well as how and why. Grave History is the first volume to use southern cemeteries to interrogate and analyze southern society and the construction of racial and gendered hierarchies from the antebellum period through the dismantling of Jim Crow. Through an analysis of cemeteries throughout the South-including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Virginia, from the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries-this volume demonstrates the importance of using the cemetery as an analytical tool for examining power relations, community formation, and historical memory. Grave History draws together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, including historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and social-justice activists to investigate the history of racial segregation in southern cemeteries and what it can tell us about how ideas regarding race, class, and gender were informed and reinforced in these sacred spaces. Each chapter is followed by a learning activity that offers readers an opportunity to do the work of a historian and apply the insights gleaned from this book to their own analysis of cemeteries. These activities, designed for both the teacher and the student, as well as the seasoned and the novice cemetery enthusiast, encourage readers to examine cemeteries for their physical organization, iconography, sociodemographic landscape, and identity politics.

***Please note: This ebook edition does not contain the photos found in the print edition.*** He was a beloved family physician and a ruthless doctor of death who almost got away with murder. It was a friendly hunting trip--two men kicking back, shooting at clay pigeons on campgrounds near rural Montrose, Pa. Then, a single shot rang out. Moments later, Marty Dillon, a promising young lawyer, was dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. His friend, Dr. Stephen Scher, later tearfully explained that Dillon had been running with a shotgun after a porcupine, and tripped and fell, accidentally killing himself. But what really happened? Marty Dillon's violent death was immediately declared an accident by the local coroner in 1976. But as Dillon's body was lowered into the cold ground, did a damning secret, one that would haunt his friends and family for decades, go with him? * Were rumors of an affair between Dr. Scher and Marty's wife, Pat, true? * Why did the couple marry so soon after Dillon's death? * If the shot was self-inflicted, why did the bullet come from Dr. Scher's gun? * What was it about Dillon's bloody wound that cast suspicion on Scher? After 20 years of pleading with authorities and finally hiring their own investigators, Dillon's parents persuaded the Pennsylvania State Police to reopen the case. They exhumed Dillon's body--and his decayed remains told the real story of that tragic day two decades earlier. On October 22, 1997, Dr. Stephen Scher was convicted of the murder of Marty Dillon--final justice for a cold-blooded killer who for 20 years thought he had gotten away with murder. Maria Eftimiades recounts the shocking true story in Secrets from the Grave.

"Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave." These ominous words are the last threat that Sir Edward Grey receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has retained for his protection, he collapses and dies at his London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a roomful of dinner guests. Prepared to accept that Edward's death was due to a long-standing physical infirmity, Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and suggests that her husband was murdered. It is a reaction she comes to regret when she discovers damning evidence for herself, and realizes the truth. Determined to bring the murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.
