The Bootlegger's Legacy

The Bootlegger's Legacy
Ted Clifton
When an old-time bootlegger dies and leaves his son Mike a cryptic letter hinting at millions in hidden cash, Mike and his friend Joe embark on a journey that takes them through three states and 50 years of history. What they find goes beyond money and transforms them both. This is an action-packed adventure story that partially takes place in the early 1950s. It all starts with a key, embossed with the letters CB, and a cryptic reference to Deep Deuce, a neighborhood once filled with hot jazz and gangs of bootleggers. Out of those threads is woven a tapestry of history, romance, drama, and mystery; connecting two generations and two families in the adventure of a lifetime.

About the Author

Ted Clifton has been a consultant, investment banker, artist, financial writer, and a business entrepreneur. He lives in Denver, Colorado, after many years in the New Mexico desert, with his wife and grandson.

The Bootlegger's Legacy draws from my personal experiences in both Oklahoma and New Mexico. I remember hearing as a child in Oklahoma about a bootlegger who lived on the next street over from my house. Was not real sure what a bootlegger was but it was exciting and mysterious.

The characters are loosely based on people I have known with the two main characters being a composite of several people, including myself. I wanted the story to be fun, but also to have a serious side about our transitions in life.

The e-book was recently honored by the Independent Book Publishers Association's-Benjamin Franklin Digital Awards as a 2016 Silver Honoree.
