Blurb for Straight River
STRAIGHT RIVER is a fast-paced, tension-building story set against the backdrop of a farm crisis in America's heartland.
Two mysterious deaths compel Matt Lanier, a professional musician by trade, into a search for the killer.

If you're a fan of unique characters who defy all odds and stand up against powerful, ruthless foes, then you'll love this story of a musician/hero who marches to the beat of a different drummer.
