A Primer On Death by Michael W. Sherer

A PRIMER ON DEATH takes Chicago freelance writer Emerson Ward to Wisconsin’s north woods to look into the grisly murder of an aging beauty queen as a favor to the local newspaper publisher. Ward questions suspects already of interest to the county sheriff’s office, but what he learns points him in a direction they haven’t taken. When he finally convinces the sheriff to take another look, things take a twist that even Ward didn’t see coming.

A PRIMER ON DEATH is available from Amazon.
