Latent Lives (A John Stauer and Linda Lavaque Murder Mystery) (Volume 1)

The third book in the John Stauber & Linda Lavaque Murder Mysteries Series. The man lying in the morgue was definitely dead. And yet John Stauber found himself carrying on a conversation with him... "But how do you know who I am? You can't know that." John sighed. "Let me give it a try. You're with the FBI, or, rather, the BOI, the Bureau of Investigation. Your name is Lionel Cromwell and you went down with the Morning Star in nineteen twenty-three." Agent Cromwell's mouth dropped open and John could see the man's faculties beginning to shut down. Obviously John had shocked the hell out of him. "How - how could you know...'" "Fingerprints." "Fingerprints? But - but how did you get my fingerprints?" "They were taken off your body. After you were shot dead a few days ago out on Park Point." "What? You mean they kill me? I'm dead...'" "Look...none of this is making any sense. You're dead. You're on a slab in the morgue even as we speak. So... how is it I'm talking to you right now?"

Jenkins Farms is a fascinating factual account of the almost forgotten early days of Sutter County, California when wheat farming, which dominated the landscape in the late 1800s, transitioned to small family-run fruit farms with orchards and dryyards in the early 1900s. Through the chronicles of the Jenkins farm, the reader experiences the pioneering spirit of the early farmers of California and the breath of farm activities undertaken to survive until the early orchards could come into bearing. Raising dairy cows, hogs and chickens, processing sorghum cane into molasses, farming oats, barley, beans and alfalfa are relived by the reader as the horse and buggy technology gives way to the first automobiles and tractors. Rich in historical detail, the book contains over 50 early photographs, and dozens of historical advertisements, recipes, maps and clippings that allow the reader to appreciate what family-farm life was like in the early 1900s. 
As the Jenkins farm matures, and grapes and fruit trees come into bearing, the reader experiences first hand the processes of drying grapes into raisins, dipping prunes, and sulphuring peaches for field drying. Buggy trips to goldrush ghost-towns, and riverboat trips to San Francisco and the 1915 World's Fair provide a glimpse into this notable period of California history. Thoroughly researched with detailed accounts of personal experiences and numerous farm diary quotes, the book is a fascinating story of daily life on an early California fruit farm from 1910 to the late 1930s.
