Willie Chandler didn’t even want to go fishing that dreary, rainy spring morning, and he darned sure didn’t want to spend any time with his rude, crude mooch of a brother-in-law, Larry Munson. But yet he found himself standing on the edge of the lake in the early morning drizzle, listening to Larry brag about how many women he had bedded and how many fish he had caught. It was enough to tick off even the most affable person, and when Willie finally had enough of Larry’s braggadocio, he stalked off, intending to climb up the steep mountainside to the road and walk home. Instead, he found a wrecked truck with a dead man inside, and his already dismal day got even worse.
This wasn’t the first fatal accident on the notorious stretch of mountain road called Dead Man’s Curve, and it probably wouldn’t be the last. Nobody was really surprised to learn that the dead man was Clark Druzniak. If anything, people wondered why it hadn’t happened sooner. The victim was a drunk who never hesitated to get behind the wheel, no matter what condition he was in or the fact that his license had been revoked. To be honest, many thought if anybody had it coming, it was Druzniac, who had spent years abusing his long-suffering wife and teenage daughter.
It would have been just another small town tragedy and soon forgotten until a chance discovery leads Sheriff Jim Weber to suspect that there might be more to the story than that. Was it really an accident? And if it wasn’t, who was behind the man’s death? There were plenty of suspects to choose from, and some of them even confessed. But were they really guilty?
One reviewer has referred to the Big Lake mystery series as “Mayberry Meets Twin Peaks.” It’s a combination of humor and intrigue that launched New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell’s first Big Lake book into Amazon’s Top 100 Paid Kindle books for over 78 days, and Big Lake Accident, the twenty-fourth book in this popular series, is sure to be a hit, too
