When The Wind Blows: A Spruce Run Mystery

Spruce Run #3

by Mark Mueller

Clever humor and suspense are intertwined in an engaging story of atonement and redemption.

Louis "Mac" McMurphy lives an idyllic life in Spruce Run, New Jersey. As editor of the "Spruce Run Bugler," he enjoys nothing better than keeping up on current events and solving local crimes along with his best friend, a detective with the county sheriff's department. Five years sober, Mac is an alcoholic in recovery. He drives a late-model Dodge Charger and constantly dispenses jokes and one-liners as he tells his story.

When a former love unexpectedly re-enters his life and a young child is kidnapped, Mac's idyllic life is turned upside-down as he is forced to confront his past in order to save his future.
