An Unlikely Partnership is the first novel in The Pilot and The Pianist Mystery Series, which is the fifth series of novels for MW Burdette. This mystery features Neal Bush Todd, a retired fighter pilot, and Claire Cavendish, a descendant of the famous Cavendishes of Great Britain. When one of your ancestors is a Lord, another a Duke, and a third the Prime Minister of Great Britain great things are expected of you. Even being a child prodigy in music wasn’t enough for Claire to feel as if she had made her mark in the world.Todd had been the ace pilot in his own right, but after eight years racking up “Kills” in his country’s overseas conflicts he wanted more challenges. He wanted to be a famous detective like Agatha Christie’s fictional character Hercule Poirot. He was to Belgium as Sherlock Holmes was to London—an outstanding mind solving difficult murders in the early 20th Century in England. This unusual partnership between the pilot and the pianist came about by an accidental meeting but it gave both characters the opportunities to achieve their life goals.Burdette’s other four series, The LT Maggie Watson Murder Mysteries, The Bremen & Whitacre Detective Series, and the John Bremen Chronicles, and the Dowdy and Summers Murder Series can also be found online at Amazon.com/Books/MW Burdette.
