About This Book
Crooked Roads:Ginseng War
#2 Sheriff Jack Stanley Series
Daniel Boone made his family fortune shipping ginseng to China and the resulting trade between the US and the Orient grew steadily for two centuries. During the 21st Century, harvesting and trade of ginseng slowed after the root was nearly dug to extinction.
Undisturbed in the next 100 years in a certain hollow of Dixon County, the plant slowly covered the forest floor and kept pace with the kudzu growing above. As health foods and herbal markets expanded in the late 21st Century the worldwide price soared. One pound of ginseng suddenly was worth 20 times what it had brought at local dealers in the 1980s.
One man dreamed of harvesting ton's of ginseng from one small hollow. However, aging twin sisters owned the land and they were determined that no one would harm the land or take its resources from the family.
Ginseng becomes the root of all evil and Sheriff Jack Stanley must dig up clues to solve the mystery growing out of the Ginseng War.
