The Custer Conspiracy - Has The Truth Been Buried Since 1876?

Pleasant Hill, CA, June 16, 2017 ― On June 25, 1876, an overconfident Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer was killed, along with five companies of the Seventh Cavalry who rode with him, at the Battle of the Little Bighorn – or was he?

In The Custer Conspiracy, author Dennis Koller immerses readers in a thrilling tale of murder and intrigue where the facts surrounding Custer's Last Stand were never really the facts at all. And when modern-day history professor Matt Conroy uncovers a deeply buried secret about the ill-fated Custer, he calls an old friend, San Francisco Homicide Inspector Tom McGuire, for advice.

The two agree to meet at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument to investigate Conroy's discovery, but what McGuire finds is Conroy lying near the memorial obelisk on Last Stand Hill – dead.

The third novel in Koller's Tom McGuire mystery-thriller series, The Custer Conspiracy follows McGuire as he spirals through a hidden world of political deceit and treachery to find his friend's killer and uncover a truth that could rewrite the history books.

Unfortunately for McGuire, one of the most secretive and dangerous organizations in the world stands in his way and will stop at nothing to make sure its 140-year-old secret remains hidden.

Will Inspector McGuire uncover the truth? Or will he die trying?

Born and raised in San Francisco, author Dennis Koller was the Executive Director of the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, a World War II Liberty ship berthed at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

In 2013, Koller left his job, figuratively "jumping ship” to write his first Tom McGuire novel. The mystery-thriller, Kissed By The Snow, about a secret FBI drug taskforce that devises a plan to finally win America's war on drugs, placed fourth in the Ink & Insights national writing contest.

He is also the author of The Oath, a political mystery-thriller that expertly weaves together the stories of a former POW, four dead women, Inspector Tom McGuire and the Vietnam War. The Oath won the 2016 Bay Area Independent Publishers Association Book Award for Best Fiction and the 2017 Independent Press Award for Military Fiction.

The Custer Conspiracy, published in September 2016, was named a 2017 Distinguished Favorite in the thriller category by Independent Press Award.
