Straight River (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987637623)

Award-winning author Chris Norbury's novel, STRAIGHT RIVER, is a fast-paced, tension-building story that pits one man against a powerful, violent conspiracy led by a ruthless real estate tycoon.

Two mysterious deaths compel Matt Lanier, a professional musician by trade, into a search for the killer. With no superhero skills other than his brilliant musical mind and razor-sharp hearing, Lanier uncovers a land-grab conspiracy that could mean financial ruin or death for thousands of farmers . . . and for himself.

Despite overwhelming odds, Lanier's integrity and loyalty compel him to battle the conspirators even after his life is ruined and some of his allies pay the ultimate price.

If you're a fan of unique characters who defy all odds and stand up against powerful, ruthless foes, then you'll love this story of a musician/hero who marches to the beat of a different drummer.
