The Rutherford Cipher has the perfect blend of Southern charm, history, adventure, suspense and intrigue. The plot possesses a sheer magnetism that embraced me and held me in it's clutches til the very end. I have to admit that I didn't want the tale to end. I enjoyed the complex relationships of the charaters in the tale. I live in a nearby hamlet of Walkersville and can testify that this book is both credible and conveivable. Enjoy!
