Oregon author Warren Easely will be at Griffin Bay Bookstore, Sept. 27, 2-4 p.m. to introduce and discuss his latest Cal Claxton mystery, “Dead Float.” Fly fishing, river rafting and Oregon wine country make up the scenery of this murderous tale.

The protagonist, once a high-profile L.A. prosecutor, is determined to reinvent himself. Living in an old farmhouse overlooking miles of vineyards, he works as a small town lawyer. When asked to assist a friend guiding a group of executives on the Deschutes River, the company’s CEO is murdered. Who better to solve the crime than the inquisitive Cal Claxton?

A classic whodunit with stunning Pacific Northwest imagery, suspense, and even a love triangle composes this tale of a man seeking simplicity, and finding mystique.

“Dead Float” is the third novel in the Cal Claxton mystery series. Easley lives in Portland, Oregon, where he writes fiction and tutors GED students.
