The Good-Neighbor Policy: A Double-Cross in Double Dactyls

Charles Ardai, author of Little Girl Lost and Songs of Innocence and founder of the celebrated Hard Case Crime imprint, brings new meaning to "poetic justice" in his latest foray into crime writing.

Reliable authorities corroborate the details, but Deputy Hennessy has his doubts about the story this Good Samaritan tells. Does being neighborly extend to covering up the truth about murder?
