Gone Before

Rory Naysmith Mysteries

Book Two

by Terry Korth Fischer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:  Mystery

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Small-town detective, Rory Naysmith, thought he’d seen it all, but a young woman’s brutal murder is especially hard to stomach. Doubly so, when he recognizes the murder’s MO is identical to that of Tobias Snearl—the killer he put behind bars a decade before. His frustration grows after a series of senseless accidents plague those dearest to him, and a second woman dies—this one too close to home. Searching for answers, Rory races against time, plunging deep into the murder investigations, drawing ever closer to becoming a casualty of the dark, angry deeds himself, until he finds no one is who they pretend to be—and none are beyond evil’s reach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT TWO:

“I think my guardian angel is off for the Fourth.” The detective studied the cloudless sky and tried not to think about his foot. It didn’t work. “Just use the crowbar to break one of these frickin’ stones loose.”

The jack handle didn’t do the trick. Opening the trenching tool and using the pick end, Thacker swung it against the largest stone. It bounced off the surface.

Rory suppressed a scream as pain shot from his knee down his encased leg. “Easy!”

“Sorry, boss.”

“Try removing one of the outer stones. Loosen them, and maybe we’ll be able to budge these. I’ll hold the light, and you make room for these damn jaws to unclasp. Try finding the cornerstone.”

A fine layer of perspiration covered Rory’s face. He felt defeated and a little nauseous. He leaned back on his elbows and looked at the sky. “Thacker,” he said, “this is damn unlucky.”

The rookie moved down the mound to the edge of the pile. Using the crowbar and a lot of muscle, he attacked. Finally, he was able to roll one stone out of position. Then another. He was still three feet from Rory’s crevice, working his way toward the more enormous boulders and Rory’s ultimate freedom, when the rock he was prying loose rolled out of place. He hesitated. “There is something funny here, boss.”

“I could use a good laugh.”

“Not ha-ha funny, peculiar funny.” “Tell me anyway.”

“There’s someone else in this rock pile.”

GUEST POST:

My Writing Space

My writing space is a 10’x10’ bedroom converted to a writer’s office. Each wall is a different shade of deep pink. It has a door, although I rarely need to close it. I have a scarred executive desk that practically fills the space wall-to-wall under a double-wide, double-hung set of windows. The windows overlook a sun-bleached, weather-worn, wooden fence. A bird feeder stood between it and the house in the past, offering a pleasant view while wrens fluttered, doves fed, and I pondered the next scene of my WIP. Unfortunately, a pesky squirrel put a stop to all that.

On the desk sits my primary writing device, a desktop computer with a large monitor and printer. Framed pictures from a cruise, my sister and me in vintage saloon-girl garb, and assorted family pictures sit on a shelf. The photos share the space with cherished gifts I’ve received from friends, a hummingbird in stained glass, a lobster Christmas tree decoration, an angel figurine, and a cardinal in a nest. In addition, there are two filing cabinets and three bookcases within easy reach and drawers filled with stationery supplies and sundry.

My black, American shorthair, Cleo, usually claims pride of place on a closed laptop. Unless I’m on a Zoom call, and then she likes the keyboard or a spot between me and the camera.

Radio with a CD player is handy, but I rarely listen to it or the internet radio. Instead, I can hear Marshall Dillon's voice coming from the other room most mornings. Sometimes it is The Virginian or Jess Harper, but usually Matt and Miss Kitty. The sound is like the gentle patter of rain against the window, and it gives me a sense of comfort and safety.

The high-backed office chair I acquired when the Elks Lodge closed still meets my needs. On the floor in the desk kneehole, I keep a portable safe that I use for a footstool. My writing space walls display numerous pictures, a whiteboard, and calendars—just like the rest of the room, cluttered.

Yet, this writing place suits me dandy. It is my sanctuary, my special place.
