The Note

by Ian Cooper

Deeply in love with Madeline, his girlfriend back in Orillia, Devlin’s a long way from home. He’s starting off as a cub reporter for a publisher of small newspapers and agricultural magazines in Carlton Falls, population fourteen hundred. Wearing a suit and tie, reporting on ball games and township council, with a camera around his neck and cruising in his little sports car, he’s the best thing to hit town in ages. When he responds to an anonymous note on sheer impulse, life gets very complicated.
