Time Capsule first out of the gate

Time Capsule, the first novel by former journalist Marshall Scott Shields, is scheduled for publication in late June or early July.

It's a fiction mystery involving newspaper reporters Rob and Jennie Covington who, while planting a tree in their own backyard, unearth a time capsule buried by middle school students nearly 40 years before. Opening the box unlocks a mystery that Rob and Jennie pursue to a stunning and unexpected conclusion.

Along the way, readers will also encounter three individuals who share dark secrets from their childhood that haunt them even as adults, and whose lives become intertwined in a way that none of them could have ever seen coming. 

Time Capsule is an easy-reading, fast-moving mystery that is full of twists and surprises. With clean, clever and conversational writing, the author weaves a story of secrets and lies, instincts and doubts, mystery and murder—all revolving around a cryptic clue unearthed by accident 62 years before its time.

Time Capsule will have readers eagerly awaiting the next Covington Mystery and other books by Marshall Scott Shields.
