BIG BEND DETECTIVE FILES: Book Two: DEAD HOLLOW

Some places are abandoned for a reason. Late in the summer of 1976, a hunter's discovery in the mountains north of Big Bend, Tennessee, pulls Detective Lieutenant Nathan Kitts into one of the most unsettling investigations of his career. What appears to be the remains of a single missing woman soon reveals a mystery that reaches far beyond one forgotten victim. As Nathan follows a trail through the rugged forests of Royal Blue, abandoned logging roads, and isolated mountain cabins, he uncovers long-buried secrets that someone has spent years protecting. With only his experience, his leather notebook, and his young bloodhound Judge at his side, Nathan must separate mountain legends from hard evidence before another family is left searching for answers. But in the Cumberland Mountains, not every danger announces itself. Some simply wait. Dead Hollow is the second novel in the Big Bend Detective Files, a classic detective series set in the Appalachian Mountains of the 1970s, where patience, persistence, and old-fashioned police work uncover truths that others have long forgotten.
