Tempest at the Helm — David Hunter

When Chief of Detectives Shiloh Tempest is temporarily put in charge of the Knox County Sheriff's Department, he is given a single, facetious instruction: Don't arrest the mayor. And then the mayor's wife is shot to death in their home, with the mayor's own gun. A dedicated cop but never a game-player, Tempest is forced to juggle politics, police procedure, the press, and a killer gunning for him as he pursues the tricky investigation. Award-winning author and former Knox County Deputy David Hunter takes readers inside the life and mind of Chief Shiloh Tempest in this suspenseful second novel in the Shiloh Tempest series.
