Extended description

One potential witness said, "Whitey wasn't the best-liked member of the reenacting community, but who would have thought he'd end up like this?"

When Prospect, Tennessee Police Chief Sam Jenkins attends the town's annual heritage festival it not only satisfies his interest in Early American history, it draws him into the investigation of another murder on "the peaceful side of the Smokies."

Local antique dealer, G. Nobel Whitehead, has been savagely killed. As former New York detective turned police chief wades through a cadre of quirky local characters to learn how the victim's shady dealings lead to his demise the questions just keep popping up.

Did Whitehead's attraction to a half-Cherokee woman trouble her fiancé enough to commit murder? Or did the victim cheat one of his customers? The only thing for certain is that someone really wanted him dead.

Review by: Lee Carey on Jan. 24, 2012 :
Kudos to Wayne Zurl for another page-turner. If you're ready for a weekend (short story) trip to TN, then you'll find yourself surrounded by Revolutionary reenactors, but one of them is 'room temperature'. Sam Jenkins, police chief, smoothly takes you through a classic investigation, except it's filled with good ole country folks, complete with actions and accents. Zurl uses great dialogue, pace, description, and wallops you with a surprise ending. I only have one beef...it's only a short story. So, read "Prospect" for a full week (novel). Nice work, Wayne.
