–Local Creston author Margaux Sky’s new book Linus Jackson is a country drama set in the courtroom with a, “hauntingly tragic love story.”

In 1864, twenty-one-year old Linus Jackson sought revenge on nemesis Manfred Axsom when he went too far in violent benders against Linus. After inflicting mortal payback on Axsom, Linus takes refuge in the hills of Gypsum Colorado with a beautiful woman.
Forty years on, in 1904, an unexpected familial twist exposes Linus’ violent youth. A man of sixty-one and no longer young, he is summoned to court to face a suspicious jury, an irate public, and a damning prosecuting attorney. He can only hope for his family’s forgiveness and understanding of his dark past.
Published under Sky’s company Chicory Cove, the book is available for purchase at Amazon or www.chicorycove.wix.com/media.
