Born Walter Reedy, a respectable Irish name, Mr. Wiggins took the surname of his adoptive parents at an early age. He grew up in Glenwood Landing, a small residential community on Long Island's north shore, attended Union College and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. After a tour of combat duty in the South Pacific with the Marine Corps, he earned his law degree at Cornell University.

He lives on the west shore of Cayuga Lake with a commanding view of Cornell and the towers of Ithaca College.

Reviews

Fantastic! Really enjoyed reading this, well laid out, a classic who-done-it, which will have you guessing till the end!

Highly recommend!

Read in one afternoon -- basic police/legal procedural but enough of a diversion on a quiet afternoon. Picked it up on vacation -- author owns (or related to owners) of inn we recently stayed at while visiting Cornell/Ithaca.
