Over and Back

A chance encounter with a former high school acquaintance leads to a mystery that twists and turns through history, draft-dodging, and a murder plot. Larry and Barb are a typical American couple who love their family, travel, and each other. Their life together is a series of ups and downs-career changes, the uncertainty of living through the Vietnam War era, children, and the joy of living. Until one day, they were on vacation in Petoskey, Michigan, when Larry hears a familiar voice coming from the high booth directly behind him in a local pub. . .He gets up to investigate and finds Trey, a high school classmate, from Connellsville, Pa. When he tries to reconnect with him, Trey denies knowing him and becomes agitated. Larry decides to take a photo, which totally sets Trey off. A clever comment cools things down and that seems to end things. Puzzled, they head back to their campsite, only to strike up a conversation with a young man in a neighboring site. They exchange pleasantries and start showing each other photos on their phones. Inadvertently, the photo of Trey appears and the young man sees it. This sets off a series of events that pull Larry and Barb into a web of deceit where Trey seems the bad guy, but ends up being a victim. A fictional mystery that draws its background from the author's own travel and life experiences, Over and Back will take you on a thrilling adventure as Larry and Barb work to solve a mystery and stop a murder.
