Beechmont Riffs: a Death in the Village Philip Werber

"Beechmont Riffs" is a story based on facts that occurred in a wealthy middle class Westchester community in 1989. Here, in the lap of secure suburban society -- the American ideal-- a horrifying murder took place. When the bodies were found days later, leads were cold and few. What results is an obsessive search for the truth by the local police, a political balancing act by the town Mayor, and the unraveling of a small community. In the center is Heyward, an unsuspecting hero and self-proclaimed private eye who sets out to solve the crime, while never forgetting to mow the lawn.
