THE CONSEQUENCES OF MURDER is a lush family drama of the 1920s, involving bootlegging, blackmail, and ultimately murder.
The first world war and the influenza virus of 1918 ripped families apart. George, Susan, and Thomas Latimer were devastated over the loss of their parents. Taken in by their aunt and uncle, they adjusted to their new lives as best they could.
While growing up, George noticed differences in his younger brother that lay dormant until his murder one cold and snowy evening, outside a speakeasy. Soon afterward, George's aunt and uncle discovered the body of another young man, brutally stabbed to death. And yet another vicious killing occurred during a holiday dinner at a city club, in front of a dining room full of people, including George and his family.
Sloane Sheppard, a private investigator, attempted to find the solution to the murder of Thomas Latimer. It was not until long-held family secrets and blackmail attempts were revealed that Sloane, after meeting people connected with the victims, finally solved the mysteries behind these grisly attacks as well as the mystery of Thomas Latimer.
