Fans of Steven F. Havill’s Posadas County and Lisa Regan’s Josie Quinn series will enjoy this fascinating and complex story set in small-town Missouri. “Balances well-developed characters and dry humor with a solid police procedural” – Library Journal Starred Review of Dangerous Consequences
When a hiker stumbles from the woods raving about a dead man, Sheriff Hank Worth launches a search. Near the infamous landmark of Murder Rocks – a Civil War era hideout for ambushers who robbed and killed passing travelers – they unearth two bodies and a skeleton. Local legend says there’s caches of stolen gold buried in the area. And – thanks to some recent nationwide publicity – the Ozark backwoods are now swarming with out-of-town treasure hunters, who have little concern for Hank’s murder investigation. With the clock ticking, Hank must identify the victims . . . and the killer. But could the new pursuit of long-lost plunder really have led to multiple deaths? Meanwhile, secrets uncovered in Hank’s personal life are taking a toll. He and his wife are trying to bridge the painful gap that’s widening daily. As it threatens to split them apart, Hank doesn’t know what’s tougher, murder or marriage. With both taking everything he has, all he does know is that old sins throw long shadows . . .Author: Claire Booth
