When a fishing guide reels in the
body of a young man on the Madison, the Holy Grail of Montana trout
rivers, Sheriff Martha Ettinger suspects foul play. It’s not just the
stick jammed into the man’s eye that draws her attention; it’s the Royal
Wulff trout fly stuck in his bloated lower lip. Following her
instincts, Ettinger soon finds herself crossing paths with Montana
newcomer Sean Stranahan.
Fly fisher, painter, and has-been
private detective, Stranahan left a failed marriage and lackluster
career to drive to Montana, where he lives in an art studio decorated
with fly-tying feathers and mouse droppings. With more luck catching
fish than clients, Stranahan is completely captivated when Southern
siren Velvet Lafayette walks into his life, intent on hiring his
services to find her missing brother. The clues lead Stranahan and
Ettinger back to Montana’s Big Business: fly fishing. Where there’s
money, there’s bound to be crime.
During this week's program, Keith McCafferty will talk about his decision to get this novel written during a night he spent buried in a "debris hut," in November, in the mountains of Montana. He'll also read from The Royal Wulff Murders.
