- Synopsis
- [From the back cover:] "The joke's on him. It seemed somehow fitting to bury Oakalla's #1 practical joker on April Fool's Day... Doc Baldwin says Si Buckles died of a heart attack. But Garth Ryland has a theory that's dead serious: Someone turned the tables on the town clown--and scared him to death.... For Garth Ryland the fine print is murder. Garth Ryland makes headlines and meets deadlines every day, reporting life on Main Street, USA. And when his flair for detection takes him beneath the surface of small town serenity, he finds plenty that's newsworthy--along the lines of murder...." Garth Ryland operates a small town weekly newspaper and unofficially assists his friend, the sheriff, when situations disrupt the tranquility of their rural haven. As he investigates crimes, colorful characters are introduced, the landscape is appreciatively described and stories both tragic and triumphant unfold.
