Devil"s Run Blurb
Sounds of war!
Richard Carter awakes from a dream with his combat-conditioned nerves shouting danger. The ex-Marine pulls himself from the streets of Mogadishu to the present.
Going to the window he sees the 2:00 AM sky seemingly afire. Explosions crash through the forest, rattling the windows of his family’s cabin on Blue Creek.
His entire sheriff’s department is called in to cordon off the curious from a warehouse fire where bottles of flammable gas are exploding.
When the remains of the building cool, a body is discovered along with evidence of arson.
Then another body is found.
And then another.
When the bodies are identified, it seems someone is eliminating people connected to, of all things, a local real estate agency.
Three rural deputies try to discover who is behind the murder burning its way through Hawthorn County. Cynical Ron Guidry, trained on the streets of New Orleans, puts the crimes in context. Rookie Kit Kittredge’s curiosity leads her to suspect they concern a property the business owns. Nominal criminalist Richard Carter adds his dogged persistence. Together, they uncover a nightmare—one of greed and unholy passion.
