Chapter One: Cooper's Moon--It's Tough Being a Cop

My web designer (Ryan) has worked his magic and just uploaded  Chapter One of Cooper's Moon. Thanks, Ryan. You will find it under Excerpts. Let me know what you think of it. 

Part of the challenge of writing a mystery is planting clues that point to what will follow much later in the story. There is a  clue in this chapter that points to action that will occur about half way through the book. It's well hidden though.
