Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Be careful who you give a lift to, especially if they tap on your window…
A Tap on the Window
What you need to know before your trail
Cal Weaver stops at red light on a rainy night while driving home and is startled when a bedraggled looking teenage girl starts tapping on his car window. He wasn’t going to bother offering her a lift, preparing to stay well out of any trouble that could cause. But then she says ‘Hey, aren’t you Scott’s dad?’ and he realizes she’s one of his son’s classmates. So giving a lift to someone you kind of know is alright isn’t it?
They stop to stretch their legs but when the girl who gets back in, she doesn’t seem to have the scars she did before and she’s acting a bit differently too. But he drops her off and thinks no more about it. Until the next day when the police come calling and want to know just who he had in his car last night. For a girl has been found murdered.
The small town of Griffon is about to be the scene of one intriguing mystery.
Travel Guide
Griffon New York (Fictional)
A fictional setting but somewhere in New York close to the Canadian border. The small town of Griffon, not far from the Canadian border in western New York, isn’t without its problems. There’s that underage drinking, along with the growing popularity of drugs. (The son of the narrator, a private investigator named Cal Weaver, recently died when he jumped from the roof of a furniture store after taking Ecstasy.) And while a tough police force keeps the peace, the town is lining up on opposite sides of a feud between the chief of police and the mayor, who fears that his rival’s strong-arm tactics are well outside the law.
