The Second Death

This was written for class in college, circa 1980. A 19,000 word detective (then - now less than 16,000 word) story, I really had to pound it out to get it done on time. As a result, it's got a whole raft of problems, from typos to plot holes. I'm sure it's also very dated. But when my dear friend Cathlyn read it recently, she actually liked it enough to type an electronic copy for me. Since I couldn't let that kind of effort go to waste, here it is - enjoy!
