Acker's gap, West Virginia is rocked when three men are killed at a local fast food joint. Carla Elkins, daughter of prosecuting attorney Bell Elkins, witnessed the whole event. Bell is focused on helping the sheriff find the shooter and one the death of a young child. A strong book focusing on how illegal prescription drug sales are impacting West Virginia. the author doesn't stint on describing the poverty in the state but also the beauty of it.

Beautiful prose and excellent character development! I got a very good sense of West Virginia and her residents. A great mystery, albeit a bit slow paced at times. I really liked the back story of Bell Elkins as it was woven through the story and the secondary case with Albie Sheets.
I hope Ms. Keller writes more mysteries!

Really more about rural West Virginia than a suspense or thriller novel, but a good look at a oft ignored state.
