A DEAD FRIEND. $55,000 IN A CIGAR BOX. Say What? ROB RIDDELL is an oddball veterinary student. He has a three wheeled Volvo, two overbearing parents, one real friend, and no girlfriend. At least he had one real friend. Rob can't believe Jerry is dead. With a ton of questions and no answers, he blunders into a small town mystery maze of lies, violence, and girls. Rob is good at questions. He is not good at answers. He is terrible at lies and violence. But girls? Forget it. He should stick to lies and violence. Can Rob get out of his own head long enough to unlock the puzzle Jerry left behind? Will the facts that he never bothered to learn in class help him? How about that $55,000 in a cigar box? Or is there something else? Is Rob hiding a riddle from himself? ROFd nails murder mystery, psychology, and romance into a comic blast of 80's flashback. Climb in with Rob, fasten your seatbelt, grab the dash, and hold on for this rollicking road trip as he careens from fiasco to hero, murder to manhood, and deceit to love, down the snow shrouded back roads of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
