He’s the same loveable, heroic champ we’ve come to know and love. Only no one-including the deputy, and the suspect’s own defense attorney-will listen to him. But the more that Bernie looks into things-if only to find out why Wendell wanted to hire him-the more he’s convinced the suspect is innocent. This was a mistake as Beasley locks in on the suspect and ignores any other possibilities. Some quick detective work leads Bernie to a suspect-not one that he believes really did it, but he still feels compelled to hand him over to Deputy Beasley. ![]() ![]() Bernie naturally begins investigating-spurred to action after meeting the Sheriff’s Deputy in charge of this case, if nothing else-who is one of the sorriest excuses for a law enforcement officer that I’ve read this year. I don’t think we’ve managed to get a novel where Bernie hasn’t complained about the waste of water in the area (except maybe those two when they were back East), “we only have one aquifer.” It appears that Wendell has need of a P.I., too-the two make arrangements to meet the next day to discuss it.īut when our dynamic duo shows up at Wendell’s worksite office, they find him murdered.
