Scavenging planks from an abandoned shed near the defunct Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, he finds a cryptic note, dated March 29, 1924, that begins and ends as follows: Charlie, If it is April and I am missing, I fear I have been killed because of what happened today at Swains Lock. I may be buried along with the others at the base of three joined sycamores… …one tree leads to the money, the second leads to the killers and the third leads to the dead. In your search for me you may find the truth. Be careful you don’t share my fate. Yours respectfully, Lee Fisher The note is accompanied by a photograph of a young couple posed above a sprawling waterfall. Penciled on the back of the photo are the words ‘L. Fisher and K.

Sleuths of Sorcery Posted: 25 Dec 2011 05:15 AM PST Sleuths of Sorcery by Anne Hutchins and Bart A. Marchand ‘Another sleet-soaked muck through the countryside,’ Guardsmen Ifan Beland muttered to his flanksman, Guardsman Uist Carlh. ‘Gods, it’s falling down thick as pudding, yet! So much for being part of Lord Vaukmond’s Elite Guard.’ ‘Keep your voice down,’ Uist muttered back, holding his helmed head averted so that the Captain, riding just ahead of them, wouldn’t think the words had come from him. ‘Besides, it’s our horses doing all the ‘mucking.” Uist wanted to tell Ifan that he was as tired of hearing the guardsman’s bitter complaining as he was of ‘mucking through the countryside.’ But he had to admit, he didn’t much enjoy this mission either. He and Ifan had just been promoted to the Duke’s Elite Guard only a week before and had barely time to savor their advance in rank before their attachment was ordered into the first of many long patrols. The Captain hadn’t elaborated much, only that Windemere had received reports of a beast which had managed, by itself, to raze a whole village. No further details were given, save to look for anything ‘unusual.’ After three mornings and afternoons of patrolling, or ‘mucking’ as Ifan termed it, they hadn’t found a single ‘unusual’ thing.
