The Secret of the Lonely Grave: A Steve and Kendra Mystery

Get ready Get set This is one of those tales that cannot be set down once you begin. The lonely grave had been abandoned for a long time. But 150 years of silence is long enough, and two good friends, Steve and Kendra, emark on a mission to solve the mystery once and for all. Why is the grave there? Who would bury a six-year-old child with no family to surround her? And what do we do about that horrible neighborhood bully, Dwayne? "This captivating tale will educate children on the issues of war, slavery and the Underground Railroad, but equally important, it will delight the reader with twists, turns and never-ending obstacles right up to the end." - Karen Hoenecke, author of over 30 books for children

About the Author
Albert A, Bell, Jr. discovered his love for writing in high school with his first publication in 1972. Although he considers himself a "shy person," he believes he is a storyteller more than a literary artist. He says, "When I read a book I'm more interested in one with a plot that keeps moving rather than long descriptive passages or philosophical reflection." He writes books he would enjoy reading himself. Dr. Bell has taught at Hope College in Holland, Michigan since 1978, and, from 1994 - 2004, served as Chair of the History Department. He holds a PhD from UNC-Chapel Hill, as well as an MA from Duke and an MDiv from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is married to psychologist Bettye Jo Barnes Bell; they have four children and two grandsons. Bell's published works include contemporary mysteries Death Goes Dutch and Kill Her Again. His nonfiction works include, Resources in Ancient Philosophy (co-authored with James B. Allis), Exploring the New Testament World and Perfect Game: Imperfect Lives. His articles and stories have appeared in magazines and newspapers from Jack and Jill and True Experience to the Detroit Free Press and Christian Century. In historical fiction, Daughter of Lazarus and All Roads Lead to Murder, were followed by The Blood of Caesar, selected as one of five best mysteries of 2008 by Library Journal. The Secret of the Lonely Grave was first in the series of Steve and Kendra mysteries for young people.
