Book Description
How do you catch a killer in a small town where seemingly everyone has a motive to kill or to protect the killer(s)? . . . As a youngster, Demetrius Clarke spent joyous summers in the small, quiet village of Tolland, Connecticut. Now a somewhat disillusioned Los Angeles mystery writer, Clarke returns to Tolland to evaluate his life and his future. His arrival in the place he loves and cherishes coincides with the discovery that the community’s most reviled resident, Ike Karas—a brash, arrogant, wealthy New Yorker whose values are entirely at odds with those of the village—has been murdered. Tolland’s only law enforcement officer, Billy Williamson, is a rookie Connecticut State Trooper. Bright, eager, and admittedly inexperienced, Williamson is determined to solve the crime even as he is intimidated by the gravity of the assignment. When the small town’s grapevine alerts Williamson to the presence of a writer who specializes in mysteries, the young officer implores Clarke to assist him. Reluctantly, Clarke agrees, and the two men embark on an investigation in the face of a significant challenge: most of the village’s residents are content to be rid of the victim and more than a few believe that Karas got exactly what he deserved. Will they catch the killer(s) and return Tolland to bliss? Read and find out. “A murder in a perfect Connecticut small town. An upright citizenry that doesn’t seem to care. The appearance of a stranger. These are the seeds of David Hamlin’s most captivating mystery novel yet. Cozy up and let it work its way into you. Have a muffin." —Pulitzer Prize and Emmy winner Ron Powers, author of Flags of Our Fathers, Mark Twain, and Nobody Cares About Crazy People “In his splendidly-written mystery, David Hamlin not only kills off ‘the village SOB’ but casts half the village’s residents under suspicion.” —Jack Shakely, award-winning author of The Confederate War Bonnet

Over the course of years, Howell shared his troubled history with Howard. When his case was finally over, he told her every intimate, grizzly detail of how he became Connecticut’s most prolific serial killer.
