My friend Davy is crowing about the fact his latest adventure is now playing in the shiny new May issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. The story is really about his great-great-great-great-great grandson, Tennessee State Representative David Crockett, but Old Davy is along for the ride, and in his mind he's the star.
In this one, Rep. Crockett is a celebrity judge at a black powder shooting tournament, and having a tolerable good time until the reigning champ turns up dead - and the murder weapon appears to be Davy's legendary rifle Old Betsy. When Crockett's old friend (and major campaign contributor) is arrested, Davy insists Crockett be a hero and solve the crime. Mirth and mayhem ensue.
On a scale of one to five stars, Davy gives it a seven. But then he would.
