(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, March 7, 2013)
Sam Sharpe is a war veteran and a private eye who figures he's seen enough action to last a lifetime. He spends his days looking out the window of his dirty office, because not much happens in Footeville. That all changes when the Mayor's twin sister, Betty Pinke, is found dead in her mansion. The police claim it's a bear attack, but Betty's youngest sister doesn't believe it. Tracking down leads with his new, young sidekick, Sam searches for answers in and around Footeville, from the seedy bar run by Big Teddy to the peaceful village of migrant workers to the south of the City. Will Sam and Sissy Pinke uncover who is behind the murder of Footeville's favorite daughter, or will a darker plan set in motion by their investigation succeed in turning peaceful Footeville into something else.
