When secrets are buried, bodies are next.
Texas stalwart author, Jeff Kerr, delivers the hardest-hitting Adam Cash story yet, a barn burner of a crime thriller that fans of Craig Johnson and C.J. Box won’t want to miss.
When a man from Dieter Bergheim’s past shows up at an assisted living facility, demanding retribution for a decades-old betrayal, Dieter refuses to make amends. Days later, a break-in at his brother Emil’s ranch leaves one man dead and a hidden stash of cash exposed. Noble County sheriff’s deputy Adam Cash, a veteran of two tours in Afghanistan and a former high school football hero, is pulled headfirst into the investigation, grappling with smalltown loyalties and his own haunting memories of war as he uncovers a dark and tangled web of secrets as big and bold as the Lone Star state itself.
Cash discovers $1.4 million missing, a mysterious hole in a workshop floor, a murder weapon, and a list of suspects as long as a Texas highway. As the bodies pile up and the clues grow more perplexing, Cash must untangle a trail that leads him to confront his most dangerous foes yet and face his darkest fears. But when the killer sets their sights on Cash and breaks into his home to kill him, Cash has to wonder if he’s the hunter or the hunted.
Helen’s Thoughts: 5/5
Dive into this convoluted murder mystery where there are many suspects to wade through but very little proof! As the bodies begin to pile up, Cash, now a newly minted deputy sheriff is learning the ropes and has his hands full with solving the crime.
Join him as he navigates the complications in his personal life while trying to decipher who is telling the truth and who is lying. Set in a small town in Texas, you can feel the heat, both literally and metaphorically, as the hunt for the murderer intensifies, but nothing is as it seems and Cash soon finds himself in the crosshairs.
It’s nice to have a main character who is vulnerable, makes mistakes, and is big enough to own up to them. Each of the characters are well developed and relatable which makes them even more engagaing.
A fast paced murder mystery, with a twisty plot and plenty to keep you guessing. Third book in the series but can be read as a standalone.
