The Gilded Mire: A Becky Nunes Adventure

In "The Gilded Mire: A Becky Nunes Adventure" by Richard M. Eunice, the high-fashion world of Manhattan collides with the gritty, deep-seated secrets of the Georgia coast.The StoryBecky Nunes, a supermodel known to the tabloids as the "Clandestine Ember" for her volcanic red hair and ice-cool runway walk, returns to her rural Georgia home in a "red-misted rage" after her life in New York implodes. Seeking an anchor, she discovers a legacy far more dangerous than the cutthroat fashion industry: her late father, a law enforcement officer, was obsessed with a hidden family history-one that "polite society" in Savannah tried to erase.Following her father's maps to the ruins of a logging town called Zirkle, Becky unearths a lead-lined box containing a 100-year-old manuscript and a mysterious brass key. What she finds is the "Gilded Mire"-a record of the sins and illegal seizures that built the fortunes of the elite on Jekyll Island.
