Murder, Mayhem, And Main Street

Small towns contain far more drama than their reputation suggests. Nick Russell, a New York Times bestselling author, spent his career publishing newspapers in small towns across the Pacific Northwest, Arizona, and other regions, where he witnessed scandals, murders, and numerous other incidents. These real events inspired several of his mystery series set in small towns throughout America. This collection includes four stories: one following a girl from a disadvantaged background who meets a tragic end, another featuring a small town lawman confronted with violent crime affecting his own life, a third centered on a rural Florida deputy investigating a case with decades-old roots, and a fourth about an ordinary person whose life is disrupted during Black Friday shopping. The characters throughout these books reflect the kinds of people found in everyday small town life.
