Copper's Bluff: A Quade Randal Suspense

by Sue Gratton

Quade Randal has been the sheriff of Hodges Creek, Indiana for the past four years, ever since his wife, Linda, was murdered in a savage attack in their home. He used to be a Homicide Detective for Indianapolis, but tensions were high after his wife's death, and accusations were thrown against him. He needed a place to hide; to lay low until he hung his gun up for good, and Hodges Creek seemed to be the perfect hideout. He could sit back, relax and spend time with his daughter, Cassi. He was on easy street now, just waiting for his time to retire, but retirement would have to wait.Enter Genna Leslie, an undercover FBI agent sent to take the place of Cassi’s teacher, Diane Howard, who later turns up dead. Genna’s get close to Quade and uncover any evidence of his involvement in his wife's death. The man behind the Agent Lloyd Dennis, Linda's twin brother, who has not given up the search for his sister's killer. He believes Quade is the murderer and he won't stop until he gets his man, no matter what it takes. Someone else has different plans for the sheriff, and they don't include the FBI, or Agent Dennis, but they do include Genna. A man from Quade's past is stalking the sheriff, murder on his mind. It’s a coincidence Genna arrives at just the right moment. He puts his plan into motion as he goes about the town, killing the women in Quade's life--beginning the torment that would plague the sheriff to his death, and Genna was the key to it all. Her love would make him vulnerable, and his vulnerability would be his demise. It was just a matter of time until the sheriff would be begging to die.
