The John Henrys: It's All in the Eyes (John Henry Federal Marshal #7)
Charline L Whitman
Matthew 6:22-23a (NKJV) “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.
After a tumultuous courtship of constraints and restrictions by Lucy’s father, Aaron Scott, John, Jr. and Lucy finally walked down the aisle and to say the words of Love and Forever after.
John wanted to relieve the stresses they endured, and swept his bride away for a memorable honeymoon—a week in Dallas—smothering his bride with all he could arrange—shopping trips—gifts for family members—new clothes—a week at a most exquisite hotel with all the amenities—the best restaurant, topped off with a ballroom and dancing to live music. Their first dance lasted into the night. They were the talk of all who saw them. Their love and devotion could be seen in their eyes. They only had eyes for each other.
How were they to know other eyes were watching them.
John, Sr. circled the wagons to protect the newest member of his family when he became aware that John and Lucy had become targets of kidnappers who stalked for ransom people of means who were out to celebrate their happy events.
John and Lucy may have had stars in their eyes, but John had one eye open around men who spoke sweetly to John about his beautiful new wife, but had a leering look in their eyes.
John needed a man with an impeccable moral compass to protect his wife when she was teaching school and John was practicing law. How did two new marshal badges, and a Mexican vaquero come together to solve this mystery and protect Lucy and John from nefarious bad people who had no moral compass?
What evil was waiting for Lucy in that vendor’s delivery wagon with the chain hanging from the wall, hand cuffs, a can of chloroform, and a dark hood?
It was a family affair—to circle the wagons. John, Sr., and his son-in-law, Logan Clark made a plan. All they had to do was—hope it worked.
