The Mysteries of Alcatraz — A Historical Mystery Novel

The Mysteries of Alcatraz — A Historical Mystery Novel by Juan Coss

1. Sixteen-year-old Maggie Doyle lives on the most famous island in the world: Alcatraz, where her father is a guard. The first rule is simple: the inmates don’t exist. But one day she climbs to the gardens with a dying rosebush, and an inmate speaks to her in Spanish.

On the night of June 11, while three men carry out the most famous escape in history, a young guard vanishes on the island’s west side. The official story says he fell into the sea. Maggie knows it isn’t true.

A cookie tin buried under a rosebush, a key from 1859, a forgotten dungeon and a lieutenant capable of anything will lead her to uncover a murder, and an innocent man who has waited thirteen years for someone to ask his name.

A novel by Juan Coss about truth, justice and the things that keep blooming even when no one sees them. 20 chapters · 109 pages.
