Camelot West Virginia: A Magical Mountain Mystery

A body in a lake. A castle on the ridge. Can she sweep the streets clean and restore her town’s legendary appeal?

Camelot, West Virginia. Mayor Dreama Avalon longs to see her small town thrive again. And her noble cause begins by transforming her ailing community in the heart of coal country into a bustling tourist hotspot. But when a former beauty queen turns up dead, the determined widow fears a growing crime wave means her home will never reclaim its prosperous past.

Appointing a brave newcomer as her new white knight police chief, Dreama discovers the troublemaker victim was already suspiciously planning her own funeral. But between medieval visions, hidden hillbilly secrets, and an opioid catastrophe, the vexed leader smells a puzzling plot more potent than the local moonshine.

Can she crack this Rust Belt crisis before her hoped-for sightseers take an abrupt U-turn?
