Don't believe everything you see on the news. Sometimes towns have secrets-big ones.

And sometimes learning those secrets comes with a price. In the year 1934, the United States government quietly purchased a large plot of land near Hawkeye, Kansas.

Only a select few Mennonite workers knew the true reason for this purchase. Under strict instructions from the government, and for their own protection, they have kept a secret for generations.

Now, a young man named Gabriel Schmidt is looking into the history of this area-and treading dangerously close to dark waters. Led by a higher power to continue investigating the truth, and hoping to find out for himself what happened back in the thirties, what he discovers may threaten the entire region.

With intrigue, government plots, unlimited danger, unbelievable discoveries, and a touch of supernatural, divine intervention, Mennonite Mystery is a stellar debut novel for Michael D. Hankins.

It will keep you guessing, and will thrill with more than a few unexpected surprises. A nail-biting mystery from beginning to end, this exciting release is the perfect summer addition to the shelf for any lover of historical fiction, drama, and intrigue.
