CRIME FICTION 'DEPUTY DAWG OR D.B. COOPER' TO TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT AT THE LONDON BOOK FAIR 2025

Author Maureen Anne Meehan intertwines two infamous cases with her newest gripping literary offering

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ferrying readers on a thrilling excursion through two of the most notorious true crimes of 1971, author Maureen Anne Meehan unveils her latest novel, “Deputy Dawg or D. B. Cooper.” This blend of historical mystery and legal suspense is poised to captivate readers at The London Book Fair 2025.

“Deputy Dawg or D. B. Cooper” explores the tumultuous journey of Deputy Dawg, a former hippie who embraced a life of crime in Boulder and Nederland, Colorado, culminating in the tragic shooting of Sheriff Guy Howard Gaughnor in 1971. A brutal, senseless crime ignited a complex investigation. Simultaneously, the book vividly depicts the mystery surrounding the hijacking of Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 in November 1971 by D. B. Cooper. Cooper jumped from the plane with $200,000 in ransom, disappearing into the wilderness near the Washington/Oregon border. This case stands as the sole unsolved hijacking in U.S. history.

When Sheriff Kane is shot dead outside the Last Chance Saloon in Bighorn, Wyoming, Mary MacIntosh, the prosecuting attorney in Sheridan, Wyoming, is thrown into a new mystery. As Mac delves into the mystery of the killer's identity, he confronts the unsettling reality that the perpetrator might be one of these infamous characters: Deputy Dawg or D. B. Cooper.

Former teacher, lawyer, and judge Maureen Anne Meehan is an author whose love of storytelling began after a life-altering experience. Native to Sheridan, Wyoming, she uses the stunning scenery of her native state as the setting for her compelling courtroom thrillers. Maureen, whose literary career has garnered significant notice, including a mention in The New York Times Magazine, currently resides in Southern California with her rescued kitties.

Cooper” stands ready to seize the spotlight on The Maple Staple’s highlighted shelves at The London Book Fair 2025, drawing in crime fiction enthusiasts, history buffs, and mystery lovers alike.
