From award-winning author mystery author Brendan DuBois comes this unique collection of twelve tales of crime and mystery from his rural home state of New Hampshire. Included are:
"The Right Call": Newspaper reporter Jack Spooner has been exiled to a rural town, where every week, he gets a crank phone call from a man claiming to be a mass murderer. Jack begins investigating the source of the call, and starts to discover that perhaps the man isn't a crank at all.
"Rising Waters": An investigator from the Department of Justice visits his elderly aunt and uncle during a lengthy rainstorm that threatens to flood out their rural home. Yet the more time he spends with the couple, the more he's convinced that the rising waters are revealing a hidden, horrible crime from long ago.
"To Kill An Ump": More than fifty years after he left his small New Hampshire town in disgrace, Randy Jarvis is returning, with a .38 revolver and a grudge against the minor league umpire who destroyed his major league baseball dreams back in 1958.
