Residue
by Jim KnipfelA longtime Wisconsin sheriff faces his first-ever homicide: &“[Fuses] murder and mortuary science in a novel of the humorously macabre&” (Derek Davis, author of Gifts of a Dead Man).

When the local mortician and his assistant are brutally gunned down, Leonard is thrust into a tumultuous investigation linking religion, high school athletics, the black market of body parts, unwholesome sexual proclivities, and a sinister secret society. And with deer season fast approaching, the timing could&’ve been a hell of a lot better. Inspired by actual events, Jim Knipfel gives a hilariously dark, satirical twist to the American pastoral. &“In Sheriff Koznowski, Knipfel creates a straightforward man of the law with more smarts than he can admit to, while surrounded by deputies incapable of the simplest of procedures―like thinking. You&’ll find yourself saying &‘yah&’ and &‘okeydokey&’ for at least a week after you&’ve finished tearing through this delightful, engaging paean to the rural absurd.&” ―Derek Davis, author of Gifts of a Dead Man &“A gifted stylist.&” —The New York Times Book Review
