About the book
About Murder in a Small Town
The year is 1941. Zack Black, a recent pharmacy school graduate, responds to an ad seeking a pharmacist in the small town of Newbury, Wisconsin.From the moment he steps into the old-fashioned drugstore, he becomes the pawn of the young wife of the old druggist. A passionate affair develops between the wife and the young pharmacist, and soon after, the old druggist is murdered-but the killer doesn't stop there.Assigned to solve the murders is a brash New York transplant, Detective Ben Simon, whose investigation involves several suspects-each with a reason for wanting the victims dead.The quiet town of Newbury possesses many disturbing elements not unlike those of the big cities: sexual intrigue, corruption, arson, a Nazi hate group . . . and a killer lurking among the suspects.
