Detective Joe -Preach- Everson, a prison chaplain turned police officer, tracks a literate killer of a bookstore owner in North Carolina.
Book beginning:
The body was lying face up on a sheepskin rug, the top of the head caved in like a squashed plum, Detective Joe "Preach" Everson kneeled to view the corpse. To him, the splayed limbs suggested an uninhibited fall, rather than a careful arrangement of the body.
Which didn't fit with the two miniature crosses, one wood and one copper, placed side by side on the slain man's chest.Page 56:
"Just Damian, please. Grown men don't need to call each other by their last names."
The author delivered the soft rebuke with a smile.

Mystery novels are my favs too.

ReplyDeleteThe author has another series involving the supernatural and fantastical which are good. The Egyptian for one. The Redemptor is the latest.
