A modern Western crime thriller in which a small-town Texas deputy links a fatal explosion to a preacher whose ministry hides more than sin. Lone-investigator suspense, con-man charisma and rural noir in the Texas Hill Country.
A false prophet. A deadly lie. And one deputy who won't look away.
Still reeling from the fallout of his last case, Adam Cash takes a new deputy post in Noble County, Texas, hoping for quiet days and clean justice. But when a fatal truck explosion is dismissed as an accident, Cash digs deeper. And uncovers something rotten at the heart of town.
A mysterious gold coin. A body count no one's talking about. And one name that keeps coming up, Reverend Dennis Webb, an ex-con turned viral preacher with a swamp full of secrets and a YouTube pulpit soaked in charm.
As the evidence mounts, Cash suspects the truth is far darker than fraud. Alone in his pursuit and risking everything, he's go head-to-head with a man who may be hiding more than just sins behind the cloth.
Award-winning author Jeff Kerr delivers another taut, character-driven mystery steeped in Texas grit, high stakes, and justice that bites back.
Second Death is the second book in the Adam Cash Mystery Series, perfect for fans of Craig Johnson, C.J. Box, and gritty modern Western thrillers.
