Dance of the Scarecrows — Ray Sipherd

WINGED
It's a scene straight from Hitchcock. Renowned ornithologist and bird artist Jonathan Wilder finds the body of local politician Rod Ramsey dressed in a scarecrow costume and propped up in the middle of a cornfield in the company of crows.

Unfortunately, Jon is also the prime suspect. He's had a very public argument with Ramsey, but worse, the murder weapon has Jon's fingerprints on it. In fact, the knife was taken from Jon's house. Is the killer nursing some grudge against Jon? Is he about to become prey to a murderer who's struck once and could do so again?

Now Jon is hunting for a killer as if his life depends on it. It just might.
