He's young, idealistic, and on foot. Pastor Andrew Thacker is trudging from one lonely Montana farm to another in this wartime spring of 1944. He finds George, who is trying to get rid of his wife cheaply by murdering her himself. And Phil, home with wounds from the Italian battlefront. And the lovely Anne with her secret heartache. When Phil falls in love with Anne, he is very much in George's way. George intends to marry Anne (and her farm) himself. As soon as he gets rid of his wife. And Phil. Montana Spring is the first in a series of mystery-suspense novels set in the beautiful Placer Valley of Montana. In them, Andrew and Lili Thacker share the joys of the Bell's Crossing community -- and learn to deal with its dicey and deadly problems.
