Welcome to Litsy!

In this C. D. Sloan Mystery by CWA Diamond Dagger winner Catherine Aird, a body is found in the river�but the victim didn�t drown When local fisherman Horace Boller decided to row his boat out on the tidal backwash of the river one morning, he couldn�t have meant to land a catch like this. What he ended up with was a body floating on the river�s surface. And judging by the state of the corpse, the death was not a recent one. The strange thing is, the coroner report indicates that drowning was not the cause of death. It�s up to the intrepid C. D. Sloan�and his markedly less intrepid assistant, Constable Crosby�to investigate. Along the way, Calleshire�s most successful pair of puzzle-solving policemen will contend with a handful of additional strange deaths, befuddling municipal building codes, an antiquarian with interesting views on local history, and a fisherman who has his own motivation for helping (or perhaps hindering) the investigation. Can C. D. Sloan get to the bottom of this waterlogged killing?
