Restless

by Roger Emile Stouff

"MY NAME IS Harry. Harry Crane, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I’m sitting here on a gray ledge of rock next to the Suyeta River in Yona County, and I think I’m dead..." Sheriff Gordon Bredenbury investigates the death of a visitor to Long Valley, a man killed while fly fishing on the Suyeta River. There are few clues, and no obvious motive. But what he doesn’t know is that the dead man is still here, and he’s also desperately trying to solve his own murder.
