A wonderful
historical mystery!
Join President Grover Cleveland and his young bride as their
resort honeymoon is interrupted by murder and intrigue, forcing
the appealing couple to become detectives and solve the crime!
The year is 1886 and Grover Cleveland,
22nd President of the United
States,
has at age 49
taken a bride, the
lovely 21 year old Frances Folsom.
Married in the White House itself
they have raced by swift carriage,
with
meddlesome reporters trailing their
every move, to take a private
train to the isolated Victorian
mountain resort in Deer Park, Maryland,
where they hope to share a wonderful
honeymoon.
But, unbeknownst to them, besides
the annoying presence of the press,
there are dastardly schemes afoot
and the suspicious death of one of
the reporters complicates things for
the happy couple, forcing them
to investigate the mystery with the
help of the police
and others guarding them.
