Publisher Description
Broadcast on the evening news: Hillcrest English teacher and former football star was shot in the back while fly-fishing. David Browning leaves behind a wife and two young children. Authorities have ruled it a hunting accident.
Matthew Blake has only one purpose left in life: to find who murdered his best friend. At the time of his death, David Browning had a loving family and successful career. What does Matthew Blake have? Nothing. Matt Blake is an ex-athlete, ex-husband, and ex-anglera guilt-driven alcoholic and professional failure.
To uncover the murderer, Blake must journey back to his hometown, Hillcrest, where he will be forced to face his past, make new enemies, and learn the meaning of love if he can live long enough.
Life on the Fly is another suspenseful, poignant, and compelling novel set in Schreibers richly imagined Ironwood County.
The first novel in the Ironwood County series is the young adult novel, Hillcrest Journal. The second is the adult novel Passing Through Paradise.

Customer Reviews
Mystery-suspense set in small town Midwest
This is Schreiber's third book set in his fictional Ironwood County. In this novel he combines a suspenseful mystery with football and fly-fishing. Just as Schreiber did in his other books, his central character has a physical, emotional, and spiritual conflict, but I think he manages to dig deeper into each. All of his books can be read in any order; however, this one pulls secondary characters together from "Hillcrest Journal" and "Passing through Paradise" -- and that just adds to a bit of extra fun. HIghly recommended.
Intriguing mystery
Great character development and interesting premise. I hope there is more to come from this author....I did not want the story to end!
