Death of a Hired Man

Read Death of a Hired Man Storyline:

Eric Wright introduced Mel Pickett in Buried In Stone. In his newest adventure, the retired officer from Toronto becomes involved in police work when a body is discovered in the cabin he owns. The day shift at the Ontario Provincial Police Station had just come on duty when they received a disturbing call - a homicide in a log cabin on Larch River. Sergeant Wilkie fears it's Mel who has been killed and is almost relieved when he sees that the victim is Norbert Thompson, a local "hired man" who had been renting Pickett's cabin. Just as Wilkie starts looking for a motive, Pickett arrives in town and learns of the murder. His immediate thought is, was he the intended victim?
Sergeant Wilkie and ex-Sergeant Mel pursue their investigations separately but each keeps a watchful eye on the other. Wilkie's lead brings him to rural Ontario, where Thompson used to work as a "hired man" on his brother's farm. Mel looks for the killer among violent men who threatened him as they were led off to jail. Will they catch the killer before he or she strikes again?
