Fiction
After twenty-one years on the Calder Falls police force Mick Blake, a newly minted retiree, thought life as a PI would offer a slower pace, more time with his family, and fewer late-night stakeouts. But that dream changes with the ring of his phone. Captain Brent Steele, his friend and mentor, delivers the gut-punch: a double homicide at the Crossbow Tavern. The victims are the manager and head waitress, each with a bullet in the back. Mick thought he had retired from chaos. Calder Falls has other plans.
