Big Lake Drunk

Everyone in Big Lake was surprised when hard-drinking good old boy Levi Bischoff left town and went to a rehab clinic to dry out. No one thought it would be long before he fell back into his old ways, but Levi proved them wrong, moving to the college town of Flagstaff, meeting a nice girl, enrolling in classes at Northern Arizona University, and following the straight and narrow path. But how long could that last?

Apparently not long, because late one night Levi hit a young woman with his truck, and when deputies responded to the fatal accident scene, it was obvious that he was intoxicated. Though Levi claimed he had not had a thing to drink, a breathalyzer result of .19 and a blood test to match showed that he had more than twice the legal limit of alcohol in his bloodstream.

Yet Levi insisted that he had not had a drink, no matter what the evidence said. Evidence that included whiskey bottles in his truck and a number of old friends who all reported to the police that Levi had been drinking with them the night of the accident.

No matter how hard Levi declared his innocence or how much Deputy Robyn Fuchette wanted to believe him, it seemed like an open and shut case. Or was it?

The more Sheriff Jim Weber investigates the accident, the more he becomes confused. Why would two witnesses who saw Levi just moments before the accident tell the sheriff he was not drunk? And what was the victim, a young married woman with an outstanding reputation, doing on the side of a country road in the middle of a cold, rainy night? And how did she get there?

As more information develops, Weber begins to think that what at first seemed like a simple, tragic accident might be part of a much larger conspiracy. Was Levi framed, as Robyn wants to believe? If so, who would want to do it? And what about the dead woman? As it turns out, more than one person had a reason to want her dead. Come along for the ride as Sheriff Weber and his deputies try to get to the bottom of this modern-day mystery in the Arizona high country.

One reviewer has referred to the Big Lake mystery series as “Mayberry Meets Twin Peaks.” It’s a combination of humor and intrigue that launched New York Times bestselling author Nick Russell’s first Big Lake book into Amazon’s Top 100 Paid Kindle books for over 78 days, and Big Lake Drunk, the twenty-second book in this popular series, is sure to be a hit, too!
