Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure released by Robert Thornhill

Award-winning mystery author, Robert Thornhill, announces the release of Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure, volume #23 in his Lady Justice series.

Independence, MO, June 11, 2016 – Independence, Missouri author, Robert Thornhill, has just released Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure, volume #23 in his award-winning Lady Justice mystery/comedy series.

Robert began writing at the age of 66 after a 36 year career in real estate. In six years, he has published 23 novels in the Lady Justice series, the seven volume Rainbow Road series of chapter books for children, a cookbook and a mini-autobiography.

Nine of the Lady Justice novels received the Pinnacle Achievement Award from the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs for best new mystery novel, fourteen have received 5 Star Reviews from Reader’s Favorite, and nine have been ranked #1 on Amazon in the past twelve months.

Having never learned to type, all Robert’s novels have been written with one finger and a thumb!

In Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure, Robert asks the questions; Is there really a spirit world? And if there is, can those disembodied souls communicate with the living?

Can departed love ones speak to family from beyond the grave?

These are questions Walt must ponder when a bizarre series of paranormal events lead his friend, Mary, to a treasure hidden away for seventy years, and a family she never knew existed.

Walt’s ultimate answer lies in the words of the Professor, “There are still many things beyond the comprehension of mortal man.”

A light-hearted look at things that go ‘bump’ in the night.

C.F. Jones of Independence writes, “Cozy means something that’s comfortable, warm and familiar. A cozy mystery is one where the reader likes the characters, feels justice is served at the end, and has enough twists and turns to the plot that their mind is actively engaged in helping solve the crime.

In my opinion, this is one of Robert Thornhill’s best novels in his Walt Williams Mystery/Comedy series. Lady Justice and the Ghostly Treasure is the 23rd book in this series and is full of mysteries: hidden gold; spooky specters; providential coincidences; and a cast of characters that interweave around and about each other.

The pace of the story is quick and quirky. There are several funny scenes that may cause the reader to laugh out loud and the paranormal episodes will give even the non-believer pause. The characters are well defined and realistic.

A definite thumbs-up and five stars, this is one of the coziest mystery cozies he’s written!” For more about the series, go to http://booksbybob.com

More Honors for the Lady Justice Mystery/Comedy Series

More accolades for Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice mystery/comedy series as the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs just announced that Volume #16 in the series

Independence, MO, September 09, 2014 – More accolades for Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice mystery/comedy series as the National Association of Book Entrepreneurs just announced that Volume #16 in the series, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders has earned the Pinnacle Achievement Award for Best New Mystery – Summer 2014.

In addition, Volume #17, Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse, was just awarded a Five Star Review from Reader’s Favorite.

Lee Ashford of Reader’s Favorite writes, “Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse by Robert Thornhill offers another excellent entry to the Lady Justice series of comedic mysteries. Walt, Ox and the whole gang are back to help resolve a growing number of unusual murders, with an apparent connection to a theft from the travelling “King Tut” exhibit on loan from Egypt. When Walt and Ox are both arrested for one of the murders, things get really dicey. Whoever set up the dynamic duo seemed to cover every base, with all the evidence pointing directly to the pair. Their future was in the hands of a single defense attorney, but she was very good at her job; was she good enough? Historical facts are liberally sprinkled throughout this book, as is generally the case with Thornhill’s work. Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse includes a nice bonus: a link to relevant and fascinating information about the boy king. Don’t skip the link.

Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse is Robert Thornhill’s latest release, but it seems each successive story is better than the previous stories. I don’t know how he could get any better than he already is, but he must have found a way. This is a great story on several levels. The comedic factor is witty and befitting the various characters involved. The murder mystery is well established, well written, and very deeply cloaked in a well-designed mesh of convoluted clues. The police procedural aspect of the story is reasonable and quite believable. Finally, the historically accurate bits are fascinating and add punch to the story. Thornhill’s Lady Justice series was great to begin with, but each successive episode makes the series even better than before. You won’t want to miss Lady Justice and the Pharaoh’s Curse.”

Over 83,000 Kindle readers downloaded Organ Traders and Pharaoh’s Curse propelling both novels into the #1 rank in Amazon’s ‘Cozy Mystery’ and ‘Humor’ categories. amzn.to/1yHlnGE, amzn.to/1jmde5S

Independence, MO, March 13, 2014 – Award-winning author Robert Thornhill announces the release of the sixteenth installment in his Lady Justice mystery/comedy series, Lady Justice and the Organ Traders.

City Retiree Action Patrol, Lady Justice and the Lost Tapes, Lady Justice Gets Lei’d, Lady Justice and the Avenging Angels, Lady Justice and the Sting, Lady Justice And Dr. Death, Lady Justice and the Vigilante, Lady Justice and the Watchers, Lady Justice and the Candidate, Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders, Lady Justice and the Cruise Ship Murders, Lady Justice and the Class Reunion, Lady Justice and the Assassin, Lady Justice and the Lottery and Lady Justice and the Vet are currently available through bookstores, online and on the author’s website.

A badly burned body with a fresh incision and a missing kidney leads Walt into the clandestine world of an organ trader ring that has set up shop in Kansas City.

Walt is determined to bring to justice the bootleggers, who purchase body parts from the disadvantaged and sell them to people with means, until a relative from Maggie’s past turns up needing a kidney to survive.

Once again, Walt discovers that very little in his world is black and white.

Christina Jones of Independence, Mo. writes, “Thrills, laughter, suspense and a new philosophical topic to ponder satisfyingly come together in Lady Justice and the Organ Traders, the 16th volume in the Robert Thornhill’s Lady Justice Mystery/Comedy Series.

Formerly a real estate agent, Walt is now a senior citizen who works with the Kansas City Police Department to fulfill his lifelong dream of helping Lady Justice rid the world of bad guys. Once again, Walt finds that the world is made of shades of gray rather than the black & white we wish it could be. Thornhill weaves an engaging storyline around the complex moral issues surrounding the growing black market trading of healthy organs (specifically kidney in this story). He asks us to consider if we would break the law to save the life of a loved one, and at what cost. Definitely worth a 5-star rating!”
