Deadly Current

Rate this book
A flash flood. A body in the river. A murder no storm could hide.

Sheriff Ray Duke barely survives rescuing a family from the raging waters—but when the flood recedes, it leaves behind coffins ripped from an old mining cemetery… and a corpse that didn’t drown.

The small town of Blue Sky erupts with a crooked caretaker, a feud between prospectors, and a fortune in gold rich enough to kill for. Every clue points to Charlie Flowers—violent, desperate, and caught red-handed with stolen flakes. But his rival, Lyle Martin, has more secrets than alibis.

As Duke fights to untangle the lies, a smooth-talking stranger arrives with deep pockets and dangerous promises. And buried beneath the greed is a thread leading back to the one case Duke has never solved—his sister’s disappearance, twenty-five years ago.

Some secrets stay buried. Others claw their way out.

Perfect for fans of clean, redemptive mysteries, this novel delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense without the grit—just courage, conviction, and hope in the face of darkness. Be sure to begin this series with book 1, Cold As The Grave to maximize your reading experience.
