The screams reverberate through our cemetery as soon as the casket exits the church, with its large group of mourners in tow.
A new arrival.

Especially when the person who killed us still walks free.
This story is included in the collection Unfinished Business, Volume 1.
This is a most unusual detective story, filled with memorable characters, both dead and alive. It reminds me of Peter S. Beagle’s early novel A Fine and Private Place, which is high praise indeed.
