In Over Your Head (The Pope of Memphis)
A missing husband. A murdered freight broker. A secret operation moving through the heart of Memphis.
When Martha Barlow asks Pope to find her dependable, routine-bound husband, the facts point toward a simple answer: Frank packed clothes, withdrew cash, abandoned his car, and left on his own.
But Frank Barlow was hiding more than a plan to disappear.
Pope's search uncovers secret bank accounts, hidden cash, falsified freight records, and years of stolen cargo moving quietly through Memphis warehouses. Frank was part of it. Then the operation changed. When the same network prepared to move narcotics through the channels Frank helped build, he refused.
Soon a man connected to the scheme turns up dead in the Mississippi, Frank becomes both a missing witness and a possible suspect, and Pope's questions begin reaching people far more powerful than ordinary riverfront thieves.
Then photographs arrive showing someone has been watching Brenda.
With Detective Ray Holloway warning him that the case has outgrown his informal way of working and Uncle Vincent discovering that even his influence has limits, Pope must find Frank before the police, the killers, or the people behind them do.
Set in 1992 Memphis, In Over Your Head is the fourth novel in The Memphis Pope Series, a crime story about family loyalty, hidden compromises, and what happens when doing the right thing finally comes due.
