"It was a pleasure to lose myself with the residents of Jarrett Creek, and its endearing police chief"John Lansing, author of the Jack Bertolino series
Things are heating up in a small Texas town . . .
Plans to renovate Granger’s Store in Jarrett Creek go up in smoke – quite literally – when a fire devastates the shop and a terrible discovery is made.
Where there's smoke, there's fire . . .
The fire is the latest in a series of increasingly disturbing incidents, following an attack on the store owner’s son and a number of threatening phone calls. Who is determined to stop the work going ahead at any cost, and why?
The investigation is about to get scorching hot.
Chief of Police Samuel Craddock knows Jarrett Creek like the back of his hand, or so he thought, until he unearths explosive secrets stretching back thirty years . . . secrets that will shock him to his core.
Fans of Steven Havill and Bill Crider will love this twist-filled mystery set in rural Texas.
