Bastards of the Bayou

by Donald R Guillory

As sheriff, “Pap” swore an oath to protect the community of St. Gerard Parish; even when it meant hiding the truth to protect the residents from themselves. Within the first year of his term, a murder gave birth to a lie. A lie that would hold the community captive for decades. Over the thirty years he served as Sheriff, he protected the community from a truth that, if revealed, could disturb the balance of power. Unfortunately, one small, seemingly insignificant incident would bring the truth out of the shadows.

This was an awesome read. Great little small-town murder and intricate set-up. Lots of fun.

So glad I picked this one up. It's a novella with a great pace. Everything comes together real nicely at the end.
