Murder Creek

When secrets are buried, bodies are next.

Texas stalwart author Jeff Kerr delivers the hardest-hitting Adam Cash story yet, a barn burner of a crime thriller that fans of Craig Johnson and C.J. Box won't want to miss.

When a man from Dieter Bergheim's past shows up at an assisted living facility demanding retribution for a decades-old betrayal, Dieter refuses to make amends. Days later, a break-in at his brother Emil's ranch leaves one man dead and a hidden stash of cash exposed. Noble County sheriff's deputy Adam Cash, a veteran of two tours in Afghanistan and a former high school football hero, is pulled headfirst into the investigation, grappling with smalltown loyalties and his own haunting memories of war as he uncovers a dark and tangled web of secrets as big and bold as the Lone Star state itself.

Cash discovers $1.4 million missing, a mysterious hole in a workshop floor, a murder weapon, and a list of suspects as long as a Texas highway. As the bodies pile up and the clues grow more perplexing, Cash must untangle a trail that leads him to confront his most dangerous foes yet and face his darkest fears. But when the killer sets their sights on Cash and breaks into his home to kill him, Cash has to wonder if he's the hunter or the hunted.

In this gripping third installment of the Adam Cash series, Austin author Jeff Kerr once again grabs the reins with another heart-pounding Texas mystery filled with twists, turns, and a deep sense of place.
