When Detective Webster Coninck arrives at the murder scene outside Tups Tavern, he quickly identifies the body: Tom Johanssen. Former classmate, full of charisma, and a man with enough enemies to line up interviews into next week. Webb finds himself off the case because of his personal history with Johanssen, but Webb believes his local knowledge holds the key to solving the case. But only if he can face his own painful history. Chosen as one of the best stories of 2011.

The character development in this story is brilliant! I always learn a ton just from reading your stuff. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks, Will. 🙂
Amazing, Kris! It sucked me in and I was halfway through before I realized that this was something I was reading, not watching in my head!
Thank you!
Great story. FYI – typo: lineament (lines of a face), liniment (ointment). Can’t smell the first, only the second.
Thanks for finding that, Karen. And this was copy edited! Dang. 🙂 No one can catch everything. And thanks for the kind words
Love this with all my heart. Great stuff. Particularly love this line: Webb frowned, remembering Flo’s face on the last beautiful day of her life.
Thanks for another great Monday read, Kris!
Thanks, Robin! 🙂
Thanks for this. In an odd way, it’s beautiful, one of those stories that makes you feel more human after you’ve read it than you were before.
Thank you, Eugenia. 🙂
What Eugenia said. Ditto.
Thanks. 🙂
