About the Book: An unlikely trio of retirees try to solve a man’s death, his strange will, and the 250-year-old colonial period mystery of the controversial and long-vanished First American Declaration of Independence, actions which–if successful–will change United States history. That is if they don’t die trying.

Recipient of ten awards including winner of the 2022 American Fiction Awards and the National Indie Excellence Awards in the mystery categories, Deadly Declarations plunges readers into the world of history and retirement, where getting older is a combination of fear, doubt, humor, and new life, and then transports readers to the courtroom and to the Virginia countryside to prove that age is just a number when searching for and finding the truth about the past.

About the Beverage: Landis recommends pairing his novel with a Captain Jack Pilsner because “Captain James Jack, for which this beer is named, is central to the novel because, in 1775, he rode 500 miles to deliver the first American Declaration of Independence to the 2nd Continental Congress. Debatable story? Sure. Evidence to support it. Absolutely. The beer. A delicious taste of freedom.”
