Ox and Judy are off to Alaska on a honeymoon cruise and invite Walt and Maggie to tag along.
Their peaceful plans are soon shipwrecked by the murder of two fellow passengers.
The murders appear to be linked to a century-old legend involving a cache of gold stolen from a prospector and buried by two thieves.
Their seven day cruise is spent hunting for the gold and eluding the modern day thieves intent on possessing it at any cost.
Another nail-biting mystery that will have you on the edge of your seat one minute and laughing out loud the next.
Sheri Wilkinson of Goodreads writes, "Robert Thornhill hits the mark again in Lady Justice And The Cruise Ship Murders.
Walt and Maggie accompany Ox & Judy on their honeymoon cruise to Alaska. Once on board, two people end up dead, and it looks like a case of mistaken identity. Another couple's life is in danger if Walt and gang can't catch the murderer first.
Fantastic read, with a bit of Alaskan history and great photos. A must read for mystery lovers."
Christina Fullerton-Jones of Independence, Mo. writes, "There's something about a murder mystery aboard a ship at sea...the culprit can't escape easily; but neither can the intended victim. Writers like Agatha Christie and Ian Fleming have used this vehicle to set up plots and sub-plots to make the reader roll with the waves as they sort through events and clues. Robert Thornhill skillfully brings this setting into the world of Walt Williams as he presents us with mystery/comedy #11, LADY JUSTICE AND THE CRUISE SHIP MURDERS.
The story unfolds as Walt Williams, retired real estate agent, now a member of the Kansas City Police Force's City Retired Action Patrol (C.R.A.P.), and his wife, Maggie, have been invited to join Walt's partner Ox, and Ox's policewoman wife, Judy, on their honeymoon. The decision is to take a week long Alaskan cruise that includes panning for gold (Ox's dream) and a salmon bake for Judy.
With Thornhill's skill of interweaving story lines, we learn that another couple from KC are also headed to Alaska to hopefully retrieve a hidden treasure trove of gold. The plot thickens when a murder is committed on the first night aboard the ship right down the hall from Walt's room. Continuous action will hold the reader's attention, but Thornhill also provides moments of prose about the beauty of Alaska and humorous events that occur on the ship. Finally, the culprits are caught and Lady Justice triumphs once again. This is a pure fun and entertainment...keeps you turning the pages until it's done!"
Lady Justice and the Sting and Lady Justice and Dr. Death and Lady Justice and the Vigilante won the Pinnacle Award for the best new mystery novels of Fall 2011, Winter 2012 and Summer 2012 from the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs.
Robert has also written the seven volume set of Rainbow Road chapter books for children.
