Every Wednesday evening from 1955 until 1960, most American families would huddle around the black-and-white television to watch the show The Millionaire. My parents always instructed me to make sure we kept the porch light on just in case Michael Anthony was looking for our home so he could present us with a check for a million dollars from the ultra-rich benefactor, "John Beresford Tipton."The Mystery Trust: The Beginning is the first in a series of short stories to come.
