Welcome to Goose Bend, Pennsylvania with its one traffic light, and where things haven’t changed much in the past fifty years. Meet Detective William Laskey, a detective for the Pennsylvania Criminal Investigation Unit, and his godson, Jacob Gillis.  Jacob, a trouble maker as a boy, is now an environmental lawyer and responsible citizen (At least, most of the time. He still manages to put his foot wrong on occasion. In Unringing the Bell, the first book in the series,he takes a humdinger of a wrong step!)  And meet Dr. Zuela Hay, PhD, who doesn’t always behave with the dignity you’d expect of a Shakespearean scholar.
