    About this series

    ***One of Library Journal's Best Crime Reads of 2023***

    "The Samuel Craddock series may be the best regional crime series around today. This installment is no exception" Library Journal Starred Review

    "It was a pleasure to lose myself with the residents of Jarrett Creek, and its endearing police chief"John Lansing, author of the Jack Bertolino series


    Things are heating up in a small Texas town . . .

    Plans to renovate Granger’s Store in Jarrett Creek go up in smoke – quite literally – when a fire devastates the shop and a terrible discovery is made.

    Where there's smoke, there's fire . . .

    The fire is the latest in a series of increasingly disturbing incidents, following an attack on the store owner’s son and a number of threatening phone calls. Who is determined to stop the work going ahead at any cost, and why?
     
    The investigation is about to get scorching hot.

    Chief of Police Samuel Craddock knows Jarrett Creek like the back of his hand, or so he thought, until he unearths explosive secrets stretching back thirty years . . . secrets that will shock him to his core.

    Fans of Steven Havill and Bill Crider will love this twist-filled mystery set in rural Texas.

      Chief of Police Samuel Craddock faces a race against time to solve a perplexing murder at a motorcycle rally before the event comes to an end. "Suggest for fans of mysteries featuring small-town police forces, including novels by Claire Booth, Steven F. Havill, and Tricia Fields" - Library Journal Starred Review With the annual Jubilee Motorcycle Rally approaching, Jarrett Creek residents are divided. Some despise the rowdy, unsavory behaviour of the bikers, but they bring welcome money to local merchants. What's to be done? At a town meeting to find a solution, temperatures flare as Amber Johnson and Lily Deverell - family women on opposing sides of the debate - throw accusations at each other. Attempting to appease both camps, Chief of Police Samuel Craddock enacts a curfew to dissuade late-night revellers. Nevertheless, trouble strikes. With the rally in full swing, Amber is found murdered at the event. Why did Amber leave her home that night? What secrets was she hiding from her family? Craddock quickly faces more challenges as he offers to take in his rebellious teenaged niece, Hailey, whose parents are at their wits' end. He soon understands their pain. Can Craddock keep Hailey under control, or will dealing with her allow a murderer to escape justice?
