A Righteous Agenda Hank Youngman

"It was not a sad place. It was a candid place; a place that showed life's epic conclusion in its prosaic reality, an unflattering testimony to time's tyrannical course over all of its subjects: if temporal, then temporary."





Investigating a minior crime, a young recruit stumbles upon a piece of forgotten history. The phrase A RIGHTEOUS AGENDA is etched on medieval tombstones without a discernable pattern.
The mystery becomes an obsession for reasons he cannot explain, and his pursuit for an answer is hindered by a villain who seems to know more than he lets on.

As the officer endeavors to uncover the meaning behind the RIGHTEOUS AGENDA, he stumbles across a sinister plot and a crime which scope he cannot fathom until it is too late.





"Because, without closure, things don't get to end."





A modern novella written in the style of Checkov's short stories, A Righteous Agenda is a work of mystery, suspense, and light satire that aims to provide an intriguing set of characters and events with a twist that is subtly foretold yet remains just out of grasp until the conclusion.
