The Cannon River Odyssey was a vignette for the novel, "Hawkins County," soon to be released. It features two of the characters from the story, Jack Johnson, the young probation officder, and Rick Shumaker, the county social worker, on their first weekend canoeing trip. It ended up being cut due to the overall length of the novel and lack of relevance to the main storyline, however.
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
"Murder isn't usually this funny."
