The Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series follows an overweight, Hawaiian-shirt-wearing American genealogist who traces family histories for clients. Each case takes him deep into historical records and dangerous territory as the families he investigates guard their secrets fiercely.
In the Blood (2011) opens the series in England, and subsequent books take Tayte to Germany, Scotland, and beyond. The series is written by Steve Robinson and combines historical fiction with modern-day investigation.
