The Glory Hound (Garth Ryland, Bk 3)
The Glory Hound - Garth Ryland, Bk 3
Author:
From the dust jacket: — Something unspeakable happened to Frieda Whitlock in Mitchell’s Woods, and all Sheriff Rupert Roberts will say about it is “Stay out!” That includes Garth Ryland, publisher of the Oakalla Reporter. Rupert usually tolerates Garth’s intervention (Garth’s housekeeper, Ruth, calls it ... more »), but not this time. No amount of cajolery or speeches about the public’s right to know will loosen Rupert’s tongue. The crime defies language.
Mitchell’s Woods is the wildest tract of land around Oakalla, comprised of sink holes, nasty thickets, and heavy timber dense enough to create a perpetual night. No one knows what Frieda, a bright, popular girl just a few days shy of her high school graduation, was doing in Mitchell’s Woods. Who or what killed her? How did she die? There are so many unanswered questions it makes Garth dizzy, but Rupert won’t budge.
In fact, Rupert tries to distract Garth by giving him another mystery to solve: a human skull recently dredged up from the bottom of Phillipee’s Pond. At first Garth suspects Rupert borrowed the skull from the local museum and planted it just to keep him occupied. Then Garth begins to suspect that the skull belonged to a man named Walter Lawrence, who was last seen twenty years before with $50,000 in his pocket. There’s a nasty crack in the cranium, which obviously wasn’t part of Walter’s original equipment, and there’s no sign of the money. Either there are some very rich fish in Phillipee’s Pond, or a murderer walked away with Walter’s nest egg.
As usual Garth has too much to do. Not only must he research a twenty-year-old murder, but also he has to get his newspaper, the Oakalla Reporter, on the stands, avoid a dangerous affair with a married woman, and find a way to get into Mitchell’s Woods despite the fact that there’s something murderous on the loose. For Garth, where news is concerned, there’s no such thing as good sense.
