Always a Gun

by Terry Persun

Was Toby Wilcox kidnapped or murdered?

In this small town crime murder fiction, Deputy Sheriff Leslie Fuller wants to retire from the small town police force without dying. A few more years. He takes the easy cases, like that of a local runaway, only to find later that the missing boy is also his daughter’s boyfriend. He shouldn’t take the case, but his daughter needs his help.

Leslie and his new partner, Deputy Mae Belle Walker find themselves in the middle of a strange predicament that includes retired college professors, a back woods recluse, the high school principal, and several local high school kids bent on scaring Leslie off the case.

In this police detective mystery, the puzzle pieces only begin to fit together when rumors are exposed and people are blamed for things they never did. Everyone has a secret—secrets behind doors—and until Leslie and Mae Belle can unravel them, the crime can’t be solved.
