*****CONTEST IS CLOSED! Congrats, Sue Leis!*****
There's something fishy going on in Proper City, Nevada, and I'm not talking about the specials at Catch-22. I'm talking about who killed Ronnie Cass, the lead dancer for the Domino Divas, and why everybody in this town is pointing the finger at me. Ronnie and I are old news--have been for decades. Sure, I loved her once, but that was a lifetime ago. That was back before Elvis "died." (I don't believe for a second that Elvis is dead. Between you, me, and the lamp post, I'm pretty sure he's still fighting the drug war as an undercover agent working for the DEA, but I don't want to be the one to blow his cover.)
Back to the case. I've read everything about Ronnie's death I could get my hands on, and considering my role as watchdog in the community, I've got sources that would have made Agent Fox Mulder jealous. And every time something new comes to my attention, I call the local police and tell them what I know. It's the job of the police to investigate leads. I can't help it if I turn up more in a day than most people could find in a year. Just because some of my theories sound a little out there doesn't mean they're not true.
The only people who are willing to help me are my best friend Jerry and his daughter, Margo. I know Jerry doesn't like it when Margo puts herself in danger, but this time he--well, I can't really tell you what he's doing about it. Let's just say we're working together in ways nobody expects until I can expose the truth. I'm not going to be the object of a conspiracy. No way. If the police aren't willing to dig into the evidence I keep finding for them, then there's only one thing left for me to do: Contact Oliver Stone. He worked wonders with the information I gave him on the JFK assassination. I'm sure he'd be interested in the Domino Conspiracy taking place right here in Proper City.
Get Dressed to Confess! Tell Don what conspiracy you think he should investigate next (if this whole murder investigation gets sorted out) and enter to win a copy. US: choice of paperback or ebook (Kindle copy), International: ebook (Kindle) copy. Contest closes Monday at midnight PST. Good Luck!

I was in Peru and spoke to a conspiracy theorist. He was quite strange, but did say that unexplained mutilation of animals is due to alien invasions. You should investigate that one.

Conspiracy. There are a lot of those. Just ask my neighbor. She says the plants really are alive and they talk. They can hear you chew when you eat them. They could be plotting revenge and really should be investigated. And stopped. Paper for me if drawn. Della at deepotter (at) peoplepc (dot) com

ReplyDeleteThe weather conspiracy. If meteorologists can control the weather. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteInvestigate the deaths of Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana. There are no clear answers to either. Or the Rosell NM space landing. dbahn(at)iw(dot)net
ReplyDeleteDon, you really need to look closer into the Face on Mars conspiracy...I am sure it's the Martian version of the Egyptian Sphinx and this proves that there are Martians out there. While you're at it, you'd better take a closer look at Venus as I'm pretty sure the Venutians are real and are into heavy industry, otherwise why all the planetwide smog? Trust me, the truth is out there. shoezimm gmail

ReplyDeleteI think Don should investigate why hotdogs come 10 to a pack but buns only 8 to a pack. What are they trying to put over us? I'd like a paperback if I should be lucky enough to win.
