Fish, Floods, and Foul Play

'In sizzling sentences punctuated with a bravura sense of dialogue, 'Red Light, Green Light' reads like an Alice Munro cast of characters floating through a Cormac McCarthy setting.' Fish, Floods, and Foul Play is a collection of three short stories: 'Red Light, Green Light,' in which a sisterly wedding reunion is marred by a flood in their hometown; 'Weather Permitting,' where two brothers reunite over a potential environmental hazard in the Chicago River; and 'Victim of Circumstance' that pits a novelist of thrillers against a Dutch policeman when the writer's wife disappears on vacation in St. Maarten.
