    About this ebook

    Old Horse is a curmudgeonly, sarcastic and highly intelligent seventh grade teacher in the rural north who supplements his salary by laying sidewalks in the summer. While tearing up one he had laid thirty years prior, he finds the bones of a child. But no child has ever been reported missing from Grace Haven. How could a child be dead for so long and no one miss him?

    As a character, Horse is unlike other teachers at Grace Union (or anywhere), with a Sherlock Holmes intelligence and a tone deaf, blunt opinion about every student, parent and fellow teacher he encounters. Still, he cares for his students and seeks only the truth. In him, every reader will find a protagonist they can invest in. His best friend is the principal, John Wells, who does his best to watch his back, and he is joined by a new teaching partner, Penny, who grew up in the community.

    "One Child Left Behind is a mystery driven by smart dialogue and a quickly moving plot, akin to Ian Rankin’s Rebus stories, Sjöwall and Wahlöö’s Martin Beck series and Craig Johnson’s Longmire novels." --Jasper Clankin

    Elskan Triumph

    Elskan Triumph is a bottle washer and freelance violin instructor who lives near the Canadian border. He also writes mystery novels and a variety of other genres. A core tenet of his mystery philosophy is that good stories happen where it is really cold in the winter and overbearingly hot in the summer--Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, etc. and some parts of North America and Scotland. Although geography has thwarted him from being a great Scandanvian mystery writer, Elskan channels that dream as he writes from his home in the Northeast.
