A Petit Jean Mystery

By Michael Don Fess

Imagine going to a state park for a weekend to camp out and the weather changes. Snow covers everything with a six inch blanket while law officers are trying to catch a murderer before he kills again.
Would you get involved to attempt to learn why this killer is guarding a sector of the park, especially since he shot at you?

Chapter 1

Did you hear about the murder on the mountain last night? asked Pam Short. Maybe we should be a little concerned about our camping trip tomorrow?

You shouldn’t let a little killing scare you, said Wally, with a smile. Most murders are committed by people who know the other person, besides, you’ll have me around to protect you.

Well, according to the news this morning, they found no clues and don’t have a suspect.

Well, my concern is about the cold outside and it’s gonna get colder, he said, sipping his morning cup of coffee. Snow is in the forecast. That’s a better reason to think about postponing that little trip to the mountains.

Aw poo, said his wife. I’m not worried about the cold weather. I want to go, loose murderer or not. Bill and Shirley are already up there. Regardless of stories about people getting stranded in snow, we won’t be doing anything stupid.

I bet the world sure would look pretty and white from on top of Petit Jean. Once we get there, I suppose we could always rent one of the lodge cabins instead of camping out.

Why don’t you call and see if they have one available. If we leave early, we can beat the snow.

He nodded.

I guess you’re right, I probably need to call ahead. I’ll go look up the number.
