⭐ Featured Novel: The Bootlegger’s Legacy

A story of secrets, money, danger… and the long shadow of the past.

Step back in time to the early 1950s Prohibition-era Oklahoma, where the air is thick with the scent of illegal spirits and secrets lurk in every shadow.

In The Bootlegger's Legacy, Ted Clifton invites readers into the tumultuous world of mid-America bootlegging—where hidden cash, buried grudges, and dangerous alliances shape the fate of everyone involved.

The story begins when Mike, a down-on-his-luck businessman, inherits a mysterious letter from his late father. What seems like a simple family keepsake quickly becomes something more: a clue to a decades-old secret and the start of a perilous journey into the past.

Joined by his childhood friend, Joe, Mike begins to unravel the meaning behind the letter’s cryptic words. With each discovery, he is pulled deeper into a world of:

• bootleggers and mobsters
• double-crosses and hidden motives
• a fortune that may or may not exist
• a history that refuses to stay buried

As the search intensifies, Mike realizes he has stepped into a dangerous game of cat and mouse — one that began generations before him and may not be finished yet.

The Bootlegger’s Legacy is a gripping mystery filled with suspense, humor, and the gritty charm of mid-century America. It’s the perfect starting point for readers who enjoy crime fiction rooted in real places, real people, and the complicated legacies they leave behind.
