Excerpt from Murder in Bar Harbor, a novel by B.W. Folsom - I put down the phone and took stock of the day. A nice sail, a new client, live for once. Russian organized crime. Rich kid in jail and fifty thousand dollars on my desk for me to find out if he did it. I checked the time, nearly seven o'clock. It was turning out to be one hell of a day. AJ Jackson loves Texas. He loves the weather; he loves living in Port Aransas; he loves sailing, and the woman who has the slip next to his, Stephanie, could be love. If she ever tires of the local cowboys she's working through after a bitter divorce. And, AJ is great with computers, so good in fact he works for the government now and again. Killing people off digitally. But, the work is random, and because he lost his father at a young age, AJ also has a website, for dead people. A last request website. A person dies, and any last requests are sent to AJ, who forwards letters, makes certain people who died were not murdered, and, occasionally, place pets. On his website, AJ specifies he handles only dead people requests. Through his website, AJ receives a sizable request, fifty thousand dollars, in cash, from a recently deceased man in Bar Harbor, Maine. The request is to look into the murder conviction of his grandson, Jack Chamberlain. Jack was the sole suspect in the murder of Sheila Raines, a local woman who supplied Jack with pot, a little coke, and a little sex. And the conviction looks good on paper, there was even an eye witness who saw Jack and Sheila fighting. Then Misty Winters arrives at his home in Texas and AJ suddenly has a live person with a request. Misty Winters, a young woman from California, requests that AJ bury her. Because trouble from California is coming after her, and Misty has nobody else. Burying her is Misty's last request. After Misty describes the trouble she is in, AJ decides to help her, not bury her. Knowing he must get Misty out of town, AJ decides to combine the Jack Chamberlain request and Misty Winters' problem. Taking Misty Winters with him, AJ travels to Bar Harbor, Maine, where he finds deception, cunning, and the wickedness of a cold blooded killer who wants a fortune, in the form of an inheritance, at any cost. All AJ has to do is keep Misty alive, keep himself alive, and solve a murder that nobody else could solve. Simple, really.
