      Jess Thornton, in his self-penned adventure set in La Crosse Wisconsin, his home town, is a weird tale indeed! From his high rise office in the Hoeschler building, to Pettibone Island, and to his best friend's place on Indian Hill on the north side, Jess travels around the whole city of La Crosse, trying to save a man who he thinks may be drowned. But, as time goes on, and as his friend Alexander Blackdeer guides him and helps him in his detecting, he realizes that the plot is far more sinister than just a disappearing middle-aged man, and that there is a supernatural element involved- and an ancient evil that has somehow come to this small river city! Only he and the warrior Alexander could possibly hope to cope with such ancient sorcery, unleashed on God's country in La Crosse, Wisconsin!

      In this tale, detective Jess Thornton is hired by a sweet old lady to find her “handbag”, containing her private possessions- her ‘trifles’, nothing important at all.. She gives him a string of sapphires, bright blue gemstones that turn out to be a means to time travel… Jess and his warrior friend Alexander Blackdeer wind up traveling to various times, in search of this handbag. In 1956, they become involved with the 21 year old Elvis Presley as he prepares to perform in the Mary E. Sawyer Auditorium in La Crosse. Elvis has met a young beauty, and literally disappears with her! Jess is in a tough situation- not only does he have to make sure that “the show goes on” with Elvis not available, he has promised Elvis personally that he will make sure that it does! After this trial, he goes on the trail of both the missing handbag, and to retrieve the rock and roll icon from far back in time, in medieval Britain no less. He and Alexander head back in time, and become involved with kingship of two different kinds!
