The murder of the town's first postmaster launched young Gawain MacFarlane's tireless pursuit of the assassins across the wild scrub prairies of Southwest Florida. At the end of the chase he was able to answer the question that has plagued historians since - what was the true motive behind this murderous conspiracy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTony Dunbar has managed a deft blend of fact and fiction in his latest novel, The Story of the Sarasota Assassination Society.
