Publisher's summary

Madison, Wisconsin, 1996. Nineteen women on a university cross-country team embark on a routine eight-mile run. Only eighteen women finish. Days later, the police find the nineteenth, Andie Sheridan, buried in a shallow grave near the route. The police, the university, and the community cannot understand how someone could attack and murder a woman running in a group. The community braces for more attacks, but none occur.

Two years later, a friend of the victim hires the Ryder Detective Agency to investigate the murder. Seamus O’Neill, an out-of-work local rock & roll musician and part-time detective agency employee, takes an interest in the case and in the victim. Seamus bounces between brewpubs, bars, and rock & roll shows, gaining an understanding of the victim and of the crime. He creates a theory that identifies the killer and explains why there were no witnesses. Yet he has no proof.

Can Seamus O’Neill prove who killed Andie Sheridan?

Good story good characters

Would have benefited from a narrator, but I enjoyed the characters & would recommend it. He should quit drinking
