Great News Town, a mystery/thriller about a fictional Illinois town that is terrorized by a serial killer, opens on June 26, 1984. So on June 26, 2012, a free, serialized version of the book was launched on this Web site. Weekly installments are posted on Thursdays. Check back often.

Week Three

As we close the third week of the Serial Killer Serial, we've met the staff of the Jordan Daily News and watched them cover a huge refinery fire. We've also met a pair of piano teacher sisters who appear to have been intentionally killed in a house fire. Now it's the Fourth of July and we know the tractor plant manager, Carl Anderson, is celebrating the holiday in a passionate affair with a young employee, Tracy. But what about her husband Johnny? Won't he be suspicious? And how about the Jordan Daily News columnist Duke Dukakis? Has his wife really left him?

We only have a few more days of daily installments. After Thursday's installment, new chapters will be posted weekly on Thursdays. Also on Thursday, the first five chapters will be deleted from the archive so if you haven't read them yet, be sure to catch up before Thursday!
