Death in West Wheeling

＂Breakneck pace and solid atmosphere are the hallmarks here.＂ -AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

When a local schoolteacher disappears from rural West Wheeling, acting sheriff Homer Deters investigates. Before long he’s got three more missing persons, two unidentified bodies, a car theft, a twenty-three-vehicle pile-up in the center of town, a missing tiger, and a squad of agitated ATF agents to deal with.

With no help from the Feds, Homer turns to his buddy, Rye Willis, and West Wheeling’s eccentric postmistress, Nina Ross, to locate the missing, identify the bodies, and bring a murderer to justice. Packed with regional charm and Deters’ wit, Death in West Wheeling shows how wild one case can get.
