Young girls are coming through a small Upstate New York fishing village...but, they aren't all coming out--alive! Learn the gruesome secret in Opening Day.
Following a close brush with death as an NYPD homicide detective, Matt Davis takes early retirement, and accepts what appears to be a cushy position as Chief of Police of a three-man department in a small, rural Upstate New York village. While out fishing on his favorite stream on the opening day of trout season, he stumbles across the remains of a body, barely recognizable as a human being, apparently murdered approximately six months earlier. With no real evidence—no clothing, no identification, and no clues—it’s up to Matt to not only find the murderer, but to identify the victim as well.
Woven throughout the story, are examinations into the pasts of three possible victims, all moving inexorably toward their unknown destinies. But, in the end, it’s the revelation of the unlikely killer’s identity that will shock this tight-knit community to its very core, and leave the reader begging for more.
Opening Day is the second in the Matt Davis Mystery Series, and picks up where As the Twig is Bent left off.
