HEAT ALL THE WAY UP FOR "A MATTER OF DEGREE.."

Her photograph stares and calls out to you from the past. Eleanor Emily Cook was inside the Hartford Circus Big Top Tent that came crashing down in flames one steamy July 1944 day and she never came home at all: alive or dead. Why did 47 years of mystery and an anonymous grave simply marked Little Miss 1565 separate Eleanor and a loving family? Why did Hartford Fire Investigator Rick Davey take on a 9 year private journey to identify her? Rick Davey and Don Massey have crafted a masterpiece with A Matter of Degree...The Hartford Circus Fire and the Mystery of Little Miss 1565. From beginning to end, the story sweeps you into the true emotion. Not only does the reader feel the terror of the Cook's escape from the tent, they also cry tears of joy when Eleanor finally comes home. Kudos to Davey and Massey for creating this incredible work of art. A book like this can only be the result of years of craftsmanship. Expect to be moved in a major way.
