Thirsty Thursdays Raid 5.9.24

This week on Fika with Vicky, Author Landis Wade is returning. As a recovering trial lawyer, Landis uses his experiences to lend an air of authenticity to his mysteries. We’ll be looking into Landis’s award winning work Deadly Declarations, as well as his love for history. 

So grab your tricorn hat, and a coffee…drinking it in 1773 was a political statement. We’re off to North Carolina for an adventure. 

About Deadly Declarations - An unlikely trio of retirees try to solve a man’s death, his strange will, and the 250-year-old colonial period mystery of the controversial and long-vanished First American Declaration of Independence, actions which–if successful–will change United States history. That is, if they don’t die trying.

Fika With Vicky - Guest Author Landis Wade - Today S Book - Deadly Declarations - Mystery

Oh, Landis the Lawyer, with his boots on the ground,
A sharp-shootin' attorney, the best one around.
He's siftin' through statutes, with a glint in his eye,
Findin' loopholes for justice, under that big city sky.

He's a ruthless son of a gun, with a law book in hand,
Takin' down the corrupt, with his legal brand.
If you're crooked and shady, best to clean up your act,
'Cause Landis is comin', and that's a cold, hard fact.

"I Know" by Jocelyn Alice (Landis mix) remixed with "Settling In" by ConcernedApe (from the Stardew Valley soundtrack).

"Crusty" might be a little more apt, though.
