The Rock Hole

Description

It's 1964: farmer and part-time constable Ned Parker joins forces with John Washington, the black deputy sheriff from nearby Paris, to track down a disturbed individual rapidly becoming a threat to Center Springs. Confident when handling moonshiners, drunks, and domestic disputes, Ned is out of his element when animal atrocities turn to murder. After a dizzying series of twists, Judge O.C. Rains is forced to contact the FBI. Worse yet, sinister warnings that Ned's family has been targeted by the killer lead the old lawman to become judge and jury to end the murder spree. 'An unpretentious gem, written to the hilt and harrowing in its unpredictability.' - Kirkus starred review
