Fly Fishing, Noir, and Murder in The Royal Wulff Murders
The dead man was caught in the driftwood of the Madison River where Rainbow Sam’s client snagged the body while fly fishing. It was meant to look like a drowning, but the victim was killed elsewhere and dumped in the river. Sheriff Martha Ettinger investigates the murder when she discovers the link with Stranahan, Lafayette, and the victim.
Caught between protecting Lafayette and pursuing the killer, Stranahan is in danger as the murderer begins to target him. Ettinger on the other hand suspects everyone but is still willing to use Stranahan’s help. The Royal Wulff Murders by Keith McCafferty is reminiscent of a noir mystery from the thirties with some wit thrown in it and a colorful cast characters.
