Pride and Pestilence

PEST CONTROL TAKES ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING IN MELNIK, NEBRASKA. . . .

Joe Manning comes to Melnik, Nebraska, to finally meet his runaway father—only to find dear old dad is dead. Murdered. Joe's bad attitude makes him the prime suspect, even though he supposedly never met the man.

Besides, lots of people had a motive to kill Sven Gunderson, including Bonnie Simpson, curator of Melnik's Historical Society Museum (and home of Maxie, the World's Largest Field Mouse.) After all, Gunderson did commit the ultimate Melnik crime. He claimed to be Maxie's true owner—and he wanted his mouse back. In Melnik, any threat to Maxie means war!
