Welcome to the Epilogue for Montana Sky. If you're reading this, I assume you read the story and liked it. I'm glad you did. Please take a moment to read the brief epilogue as well as my plea for creative help contained therein. THANK YOU ALL!
Law and David have seen Hansen and left without much satisfaction. The SOB didn't admit a thing. David mentioned an idea Law had. I wonder what it could be.
Stay tuned for an epilogue tomorrow. I don't have one prepared and honestly, I'm exhausted and don't have the mental capacity to write one now. ENJOY the last chapter!
TWO CHAPTER LEFT! We've got a name and a reason. We also know why and how. Unfortunately, the cops say they can't do anything. Law and David are going to confront Simon Hansen, the owner of the drilling company. I wonder how that will go. ENJOY!
Now we've got a name and an arsonist who's all tied up. Is that the end of the story? Hardly. You didn't think it was just going to be that easy, did you? Certainly not in a Law Edwards mystery. Let's check in with our heroes and see what complications come up. ENJOY!
We haven't heard much from Mad King George and his merry band of elderly security guards. Maybe it's time we did. Maybe they'll catch someone sneaking around. Who could it be?
We've got to be getting close, right? Law and Charlie have gathered lots of information, but where is it leading? We've still got some ground to cover and some facts to find, but something should break soon. ENJOY!
Law and Charlie are headed to Winnett to see about the deviltry. I wonder what they'll find. Maybe witches and warlocks and bubbling cauldrons like big Sven's crossing and spitting would have us believe. Maybe a modern research center with scientists. Maybe they'll find more than they expected to. Hmmmm...
Our heroes have an idea and a direction. They're headed to Winnett to investigate. They can't go yet, because it's dinnertime and Aunt Violet is coming over. I wonder what she'll think of Walt's Italian feast. Let's drop by for dinner and see. ENJOY!
Now we know why, but we still don't know who. Whatever shall we do? The threads of this mystery are remarkably fine. Pull on any of them too hard and it might just snap in our hero's face. I bet between Law and Charlie, they'll figure something out. Let's look in on them and see.
"With a load of iron ore 26 thousand tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty..." Gordon Lightfoot was a heck of a songwriter. The weight of the ore also suggests that iron isn't worth killing for. Coal isn't either. What do you suppose is under the Krengel dairy farm? Maybe there's nothing at all. Wouldn't that be disappointing?
I wonder how much sleep David and Abby got last night. Likely very little. Good for them. In the last chapter, Law mentioned coal mines. Jim and Geoff both mentioned mines and minerals in the comments. Are they right? Maybe. Let's investigate!
Finally headed home from the police station. I wonder what horrors lay in store for Andy after they leave. Aunt Violet seemed like she was out for blood. I also wonder if this is the last of the trouble with Andy, or if there will be more. Let's join our heroes, or at least one of them for the ride back to the farm. ENJOY!
Lars Krengel is dead. That could be its own book title. Hmmm. Ahem...Law and David reported it to the state police and had to deal with Sheriff Andy because life isn't fair. What will they do now? Perhaps it's time to see a good lawyer.
We've met a cowboy and found a lot of sabotage. We also had a little silly fun with Charlie and Mitch. I wonder what David will say when Law presents their findings. He and Law are supposed to see the previous owner later on. I wonder what he will have to say. Let's find out. ENJOY!
Law thinks someone burned down Lars Krengel's old house. He suspects the bad luck Krengel had on the farm wasn't luck at all, but deliberate sabotage. He seems to be taking quite a leap based on one flare cap found behind a shrub. I wonder if he's right. Hmmmmm...
The big city is often at odds with the rural places. It's no different today than it was a hundred or even hundreds of years ago. In this chapter, big city Law must interact with small town sheriff. How do you suppose they'll get along? Let's visit with Law and see. ENJOY!
It's time for Law and David to have some time alone together. What do you suppose they'll talk about? What do you suppose they'll do? Let's ride along with them as they take a tour of four thousand acres of farmland. ENJOY!
What do you suppose the red cylinder was that Law found behind the shrub? It could have been a shotgun shell but it wasn't. Old shotgun shells were made of red cardboard with a brass base for the powder. That's not what this was. Let's check in with Law and Walt and the boys and find out. ENJOY!
It looks like Charlie burned his sister's house down. Do you think he did? David sure thinks so. I wonder what Law will think. Let's pay him a visit and see. ENJOY!
NEW STORY! This is the next installment of the Law Edwards mystery series. Our story starts in Montana on David's farm. Law and Walt are taking their first big trip. I hope you enjoy!
Law has done all he could think of to find Doc. He even went to the VA. Maybe Mister Ingalls will help. Maybe something else will come out of his visit. In the meantime, Law could use a distraction. You know who's good at distractions? Larry & Stephan. ENJOY!
Harrison Stiles was an alcoholic investigator who worked for Alex Scofield the lawyer. In 'The Sin of the Fathers' he helped Law in the final showdown at Hank Kellerman's garage. Law got him to quit drinking by the end of the story. Why does that matter? You'll see.
Malcom is back, but this time without his brick. I wonder what he wants. I wonder how Law will react to his presence. I wonder what Walt will say. Let's visit with them and see. ENJOY!
Larry & Stephan are coming for dinner. They want to talk to Walt and Law about 'being like them.' I wonder what that means. Let's have dinner with them and see.
Law and Walt are headed for the police station. They'll have to give statements and decide whether or not to press charges. Should they? I wonder why Malcom threw his brick in the first place. Maybe we'll find out.
Law and Walt are finishing an excellent meal at the restaurant. They've had a nice chat and a trip down memory lane. I wonder if something will happen to disturb their peace? Probably; they're about due.
John Wannemaker was a chain of department stores. Their flagship was in Center City Philadelphia. Eight big stories of retail shopping, a huge atrium with marble columns, a pipe organ (the largest in North America) that gave concerts every day, escalators with wooden treads, and a bronze eagle in the lobby. Why does that matter? You'll see.
Law and Walt have reconciled. I'm sure they're both relieved. Law is headed to get cleaned up. What will he think about while he showers away the grime of the previous day? Let's shove aside the shower curtain and see.
No matter how far one runs, the always wind up back at home. That's where Law is headed. I wonder what Walt will say when he climbs the stairs. I wonder of Owen was able to make him see reason. I wonder if they'll fight some more or if the time has come to make up. Let's check in on Law and see.
Law left the apartment looking for sympathy and understanding. What he got was somewhat different. How will he handle the inevitable morning? The sun is rising. Let's peak in the curtains and see.
Where does Law go to nurse his broken heart? Will he go to a bar? Will he go to see friends? Who does he know who would hear the confession of his grief? Who would understand his plight? Let's tag along with him and see.
A voice on the telephone says there's trouble in the kitchen. Law goes to investigate and finds a U-Drive rental sedan in the alley. Who could have arrived? What kind of trouble could they be causing? Let's go with Law to find out.
