Murder in Persimmon Bluff

Earl Halstead and Joe Sowder came home from Vietnam like brothers and built most of this end of Table Rock Lake with one truck between them. In December of 1980 they divided the company down the middle and stopped speaking. Neither man ever said why. Now Marla Sowder, the engineer who runs the Sowder half, has been found dead in a Halstead driveway — and the county has already closed the case. Retired biology teacher Nell Ashworth has been in Persimmon Bluff six weeks. Nobody here tells her anything.
