Bekker’s Burial Book Launch

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.

Madison Bekker is a corporate lawyer who inherits a box of books and papers from her father. She and her husband, John Verano, an NBA player, follow the clues hoping to discover her family’s heritage in seventeenth-century America.
