A Living Grave
by Robert Dunn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The first in a gritty new
series featuring sheriff’s detective Katrina Williams, as she investigates
moonshine, murder, and the ghosts of her own past…
BODY OF PROOF
Katrina Williams left the Army
ten years ago disillusioned and damaged. Now a sheriff’s detective at home in
the Missouri Ozarks, Katrina is living her life one case at a time—between
mandated therapy sessions—until she learns that she’s a suspect in a military
investigation with ties to her painful past.
The disappearance of a local
girl is far from the routine distraction, however. Brutally murdered, the
girl’s corpse is found by a bottlegger whose information leads Katrina into a
tangled web of teenagers, moonshiners, motorcycle clubs, and a fellow veteran
battling illness and his own personal demons. Unraveling each thread will take
time Katrina might not have as the Army investigator turns his searchlight on
the devastating incident that ended her military career. Now Katrina will need
to dig deep for the truth—before she’s found buried…

EXCERPT ONE:
“I know your Uncle Orson,” he said. “Been fishing
with him more times than I can remember.”
I crouched to be close to the ground and kept
poking around the body with my stick, then sketching things in the pad. Clare’s
talk was actually soothing to hear. Normal, even though he was doing it to keep
his mind off of something not normal in his life at all.
“Your daddy too. Way back when.”
I think I nodded, reacting more to the sound than
his words. Tossing my stick aside, I stood, then circled the body. Each time I
stopped I added to my sketches. I had to force myself to look into the face.
Into where the face had been. I sketched. Then I looked away. I sketched her
hair. Then I looked away.
“There are monsters in the woods,” Clare said, his
back still to me. I was listening then. “It used to be a joke. When I was a
kid, people talked about Momo, the Missouri monster. It was like a local
Bigfoot. But the real monsters are people, aren’t they?”
I didn’t answer him.
“Perverts.” He spit the word out. “Monsters that do
that to children. There isn’t hate big enough for them nor a hell deep enough.
This will rile some people up. He lives in one of those piece-of-crap mobile
homes in that big development off of F Highway. You know, over by the McKenna
farm.”
“Who does?” I had stopped writing and was paying
very close attention to Mr. Bolin at that point.

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting and showing off A Living Grave.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find the inspiration for your stories?
ReplyDeleteMai T. I'm making an assumption that your question is to me, forgive me if it is just my vanity- I take a lot of inspiration from my surroundings. For A Living Grave I was home- the Missouri Ozarks and knew I wanted to see a mystery there. I use the Ozarks a lot this was the first time for a mystery. This book was different though, I started off wanting to make something different because I read a lot of books with strong, rugged men going through life changing events. I asked myself, where are the women? How would a woman act and react to some of these events?
