Regrettable Menace
Who wants Archie Symes Dead?
The town of Limekiln is in a panicky crisis. Hard enough to adjust to new residents in Sawtooth Farms, but the economy tanks in 2009, and residents abandon their new homes. The mayor wants friendly faces all around. A most difficult thing to do since students call a new hire at the high school "Symes the Slime."

Baer Tricklebank promises not to let that happen.
