Tug O'Malley is dead, and there's not a wet eye in the house.
When Trout Run's foremost curmudgeon turns up murdered, there are more suspects than mourners. Even Tug O'Malley's own family found him irritating and abrasive.
But Police Chief Frank Bennett still has to investigate the crime, whether he liked the victim or not.
Frank turns up plenty of reasons why someone left Tug to die in an ice fishing shack--his provocative politics, his obsessive nosiness, his casual cruelty. But as Frank works through the clues and rules out one suspect after another, his heart grows heavy. Because once the distractions are cleared away, all roads lead to a murderer who's far more beloved than Tug O' Malley.
Now Frank must decide: should he follow the rule of law or can he find an alternative path to justice?
Genre: Science Fiction
