Death by Beer

By Wade Fowler

Six-foot-seven-inch ex-cop Suds Ferguson is a big man with an even bigger problem. He is a prime suspect in a string of murders that begins when a private investigator is crushed under a skid of beer on the loading dock of Hop Central Craft Brewery where Suds works as director of security.

Suds's ex-wife, Evie, is chief of the local police force. Still stinging from Suds's spectacular infidelity, captured on tape in the evidence room of the police department, Evie relishes the chance to throw her ex-husband in jail on a murder rap as people close to the case keep dying under the influence of beer - an assistant brewer, overcome by CO2 spewing from an open-tank fermenter, a lawyer, drowned in a beer bath, and the promiscuous wife of the brewery's owner, shot dead in the head with Suds's personal handgun, a Walther PPK.

Suds is a suspect with an airtight alibi, having crawled back into Evie's heart and into her bed. They join forces to unmask who-done-it and rebuild their relationship which was destroyed by Suds's infidelity and the cancer death of their five-year-old son.
