A Dark Path — Robert E. Dunn

Sheriff's detective Katrina Hurricane Williams confronts deep-rooted hate and greed in the Missouri Ozarks in this riveting police procedural

What at first appears to be a brush fire in some undeveloped bottom land yields the charred remains of a young African-American man. As sheriffs Katrina Williams conducts her in-spection of the crime scene, she discovers broken headstones and disturbed open graves in a forgotten cemetery.

As Katrina attempts to sort out a complex backwoods criminal network involving the Aryan Brotherhood, meth dealers, and the Ozarks Nightriders motorcycle gang, she is confronted by the sudden appearance of a person out of her own past who may be involved. And what seems like a clear-cut case of racially motivated murder is further complicated by rumors of hidden silver and dark family histories. To uncover the ugly truth, Katrina will need to dig up past crimes and shameful secrets that certain people would kill to keep buried . . .
