Zelienople Road

Book excerpt: Upstream from the deserted New Castle Street Bridge, Connoquenessing Creek waters cascaded over a rocky shelf. Gurgling noises of the shadowy rapids muted splashes of footsteps. On that awful August night, nobody heard the rumble of a kayak being dragged up a sandstone bank. Nobody heard the window glass shatter or the blast of a single gunshot. No one would soon forget what happened at the old farmhouse in the black of midnight along Zelienople Road. Brian Lee Weakland completes his award-winning mystery series with yet another whirlwind journey through the rivers and byways of Pennsylvania. Zelienople Road, third novel of his Rivers of Pittsburgh Mystery Trilogy, celebrates Ohio River legends with heavy doses of humor, intrigue and memorable characters only Weakland can create. Zelienople Road boldly fixes an exclamation mark to an outstanding literary achievement!
