Strawberries

A Novel

By: Casey Bartsch

Narrated by: A. Slothwitaw Tinglish

Fifteen years ago, the innocence of the small town of Pleasure, Wisconsin, was stolen by a young boy. Now, he is back, leaving a trail of bloody carnage in his wake. The media has dubbed him Strawberries, and the country is mesmerized.

Detective Harry Bland is a broken man and can’t find a single clue to catch him. It doesn’t help that his mind won’t focus. His heart just isn’t in it anymore.

Halfway across the country, Sylvia is in a different state of mind. When she isn’t selling sex to the rich, she is doing her best to disappear. She lives a life of assumed names, one-night stands, and a constant stream of narcotics.

A reporter, two cross-country truckers, an eccentric friend, and a rubber-clad CSI all have their part to play, as their paths come together in a small town you've never heard of.

Strawberries has killed again.
