Life on the Fly - Softcover

Broadcast on the evening news: 'Hillcrest English teacher and former football star was shot in the back while fly-fishing. David Browning leaves behind a wife and two young children. Authorities have ruled it a hunting accident." Matthew Blake has only one purpose left in life: to find who murdered his best friend. At the time of his death, David Browning had a loving family and successful career. What does Matthew Blake have? Nothing. Matt Blake is an ex-athlete, ex-husband, and ex-angler-a guilt-driven alcoholic and professional failure.

To uncover the murderer, Blake must journey back to his hometown, Hillcrest, where he will be forced to face his past, make new enemies, and learn the meaning of love -if he can live long enough.

Life on the Fly is another suspenseful, poignant, and compelling novel set in Schreiber's richly imagined Ironwood County.

The first novel in the Ironwood County series is the young adult novel, Hillcrest Journal. The second is the adult novel Passing Through Paradise. * * * What others are saying about the Ironwood County novels: 'Skillfully told . . . very realistic." - West Concord Enterprise 'Tough to put down.
