The Bridge of Deaths is a cross genre novel with a strong
factual side. It is about a 1939 plane crash in Denmark in which five men were
reported dead. Because the crash took place in between two jurisdictions the
investigation involved a power play between the police from Vordingborg and
Nykoping. The newly formed Danish Secret Police was also heavily involved and
added more confusion.
M.C.V. Egan’s Grandfather
Cesar Agustin Castillo an executive for Standard Oil of New Jersey was one of
the five men on board the plane, extreme curiosity about his life and death are
what inspired me to write The Bridge of Deaths. There are American, British,
German, Palestinian angles to the story.
The book was
researched for almost two decades through archives, newspaper microfilms,
history books and interviews. It was also researched through documented
past-life regressions (not the authors) and the use of psychometry by 5
different psychics.
The actual bridge
in Denmark has been the center of much death, primarily during WW II and in
modern day Denmark it became a popular bridge for people seeking to commit
suicide. The Cover photo was taken by my Husband; I chose it to thank him for
all his patience while I worked on the book.
Amongst the many
good reviews it has received a common thread is that readers seem to feel like
they become part of a small intimate group that researches the events. I have
also gotten the fantastic “you made me like history” feedback which is a pretty
cool feeling.
The Midwest Book Review called The Bridge of deaths “An Unusual
yet much recommended read” and gave it FIVE stars.
