Barbed Wired

by M.W. Gordon

Macduff Brooks has survived numerous adventures. First, a friend of Macduff is shot while floating on the Snake River in Wyoming in Macduff’s drift boat―Osprey (Deadly Drifts). A year later, several shuttle gals―women who move a fishing guide’s vehicle and trailer from where the boat was put in to where it is to be taken out―were murdered and crucified on crosses tied to Macduff’s trailer (Crosses to Bear). After that, five acquaintances of Macduff were set in a drift boat and placed in a wicker man basket, draped with mistletoe, and wrapped in explosives. They were murdered on one of the solstices or equinoxes on different rivers in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming (“You’re Next!”). Next, in Florida several persons were wrapped in a banned gill net and murdered (Gill Net Games), a U.S. Representative was fed to barracudas in Cuba after fly fishing contrary to U.S. regulations (Barracuda Pens), and persons were spun to death after being placed in the propeller case of an airboat (Deadly Airboats). Then, more murders occurred when the victims were impaled on barbed wire strung across Montana’s Gallatin River (Barbed Wire).
Macduff continues to be sought by his adversary Guatemalan Juan Pablo Herzog, and Macduff’s wife, Lucinda, has been abducted by her former husband.
