Dead Drift

Summary

Short mysteries. Big twists.   The beauty of the Adirondack Mountains offers no protection from evil.   Join small-town Police Chief Frank Bennett as he investigates three puzzling crimes in idyllic Trout Run, New York.  In the Christmas mystery "Chainsaw Nativity", Frank's relentless pursuit of the thief who stole the Joseph statue from the town's Nativity scene brings him up against the limits of compassion. In "Losers Weepers", a locket that's lost, found, and stolen holds the secret to past betrayals. And in "Coyote Justice", Frank's simmering attraction to Penny the librarian threatens to divert him from the path of justice.  These three mystery short stories explore twisting Adirondack Mountain trails just as surely as the dangerous terrain of the human heart.
