Picture this: you\u2019re on Mackinac Island having a grand old time at the Grand Hotel, and then boom, a mystery is a foot.<\/p>\n
Someone has been murdered during the Mackinac Policy Conference and treachery begins\u2014and if you\u2019re familiar with Mackinac Island, you know you\u2019re not leaving unless it\u2019s by boat or ferry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the premise of a new book called \u201cThe Grand Secret\u201d that depicts schemes, betrayal, and, of course, a high profile murder. The book also highlights the beauty of Michigan and its landmarks while going through the twists and turns of a murder-mystery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Grand Secret\u201d is the work of author Ed McKenna. The Downriver native and Michigan State Graduate has been writing for more than 20 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The father of two joined The Metro to talk more about \u201cThe Grand Secret\u201d and why writing matters.<\/p>\n
