Small Pebbles, Long Shadows

A newspaper editor disappears. A sports reporter is brutally murdered. The sheriff's investigation hits a dead end. The star quarterback at the local high school has a troubling past and is walking an emotional tightrope. His cheerleader girlfriend is bothered by his occasional disappearances. What is it about the missing editor's past that leads to the uncovering of a terrorist plot? New editor Johnny Skull leads the newspaper's investigation into the previous editor's disappearance and reporter's murder, and finds more questions than answers; but finally, all clues lead to a rural mosque and its radical religious leader. In "Small Pebbles, Long Shadows," author Vincenzo Spiaggi crafts a tale of mystery, love, international politics, personal awakening, and individual triumph, set in the beautiful foothills of the Bighorn Mountains of northern Wyoming.
