IN PERSON: Ted Haynes presents The Sunriver Murders

  • 252 W Hood Ave Sisters, OR, 97759 USA (map)

About The Sunriver Murders:

Who would turn a shotgun on a well-dressed seventy-seven-year-old man driving a Mercedes on a sunny summer morning in the happy golf resort of Sunriver?  Carl Breuninger, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Detective, is left with no witnesses, no weapon, no motives, and no obvious suspects. 

Leon Martinez paints a watercolor of the vivid crime scene before discovering he has multiple connections to the victim, two possible killers, and even the murdering shotgun.  A new killer, plunging through a forest fire threatening all of Sunriver, threatens to kill Leon, his wife, and his friends in pursuit of a treasure hidden in Leon’s house. 

A clue Leon does not even know he possesses leads Detective Breuninger to a secretive ex-con who knows just enough to help Breuninger identify the killer.
