Book One in the Village of Hockessin Novel series, Bekker's Burial will engage readers who love a good mystery, entertain those who like action and suspense, inform history lovers, and speak softly but deeply to those who are interested in the intersection of faith and real life.

John & Madison move from Northern California to Suburban Delaware to get a fresh start in careers and marriage but soon find themselves fighting for their lives. A series of events including murder, coercion, threats, invasion of privacy, and kidnapping leads to a discovery that may be worth millions-if they find it first, if they're not killed, and if their marriage survives.

This novel is a combination mystery, thriller, suspense, cozy, and historical fiction. It is historically based, international in scope, spans multiple generations, and includes themes of trust, fear, greed, love, envy, and faith.
