The 15th Dr. Dan Trix Mystery
Last Nightlight
Zeitgeist refers to the mood of a particular period of history. Is the current mood to create chaos such that democracy is exposed as having inadequate systems to moderate divisiveness, thus clearing the way for the rise of autocracy in America?
After selling his sizeable ranch, Stephan Pokorsky moved from Florida to Poland. Within a few months he sent a desperate message to Dan Trix and Elaine. Fly to Warsaw ASAP. It wasn’t soon enough. Stash is dead by the time they arrive.
Stash had become a strong supporter of pro-democracy political candidates in Poland. Stash’s wife thought the Russians were responsible for his death. When Trix returns to Florida and begins to dig for answers, he learns the FBI considers him a prime suspect in a multi-million-dollar scheme to defraud the government through the Paycheck Protection Program. He will soon be indicted.
Is it just a coincidence that those Trix and Lester investigate appear to be fervently opposed to the political traditions and institutions in the U.S? Is there a link between these people and Stash’s death? Could all this be somehow connected to the bogus pending indictment by the FBI? Has Trix stumbled across a complex scheme to erode American democracy and replace it with repressive autocracy? It is not a time to be gentle.
