Fatal Frost

A Laurel Highlands Mysteries short story (3)

Everyone knows Tom Burns as the quirky young deputy coroner who jokes, “I like dead people. They’re quiet.” But when the body of a young woman is found on the banks of the Youghiogheny River, assaulted and left for dead, Burns’ sense of humor abandons him. Turns out Tom Burns has a demon in his past – and that demon won’t let him alone until he’s atoned for his past.
