Editor's Note:
Liz McBride has worked in the Canton County Circuit Court Clerk's office for--well, no one quite knows exactly how long. And reliable, grumpy, efficient Liz has just about had it working for her boss, Gary Moss, the elected clerk. Gary gets mad when he's asked by the Clerk of the Supreme Court to make sure a small platform gets built for the unveiling of a statue. It's a big event: the Chief Justice will be appearing, along with the local circuit judge, and pretty much half the county. Gary naturally dumps the task on Liz, who of course fails to get the job done to his satisfaction, leaving her scrambling at the last minute to get the task finished. Liz is impressed when Kit Babcock, the Assistant Commonwealth Attorney who led a committee to raise funds for the statue, commiserates with her about bad bosses and expresses her regret that Liz got sucked into doing what should have been a simple task. Then something goes quite unexpectedly and spectacularly wrong at the ceremony where the statue is to be unveiled. But Liz McBride is clever enough to turn a bad situation into something much better... This short story is the second work in the Canton County Chronicles Mysteries Series.
