Dead Weight

By John Gilstrap

John Gilstrap, the New York Times bestselling author of the blockbuster Jonathan Graves thrillers, pits tough FBI director-turned-sheriff Irene Rivers against a deadly trifecta of corruption, unchecked power, and murder in rural West Virginia.

It's a horrific accident scene--an incinerated SUV wrapped around a tree on a winding backroad. Between the impact and the flames, the driver's cause of death seems obvious to Sheriff Irene Rivers. Until a bullet hole is found in his gut. Her suspicions grow when she learns the vehicle is on a fast track for immediate shredding at the local scrap yard. Clearly, someone is trying to hide a secret.

Irene has taken down power players before. She has the enemies to prove it. With a killer on the loose, a disappearance, and a boy at risk she'll do anything to protect, she is connecting the pieces of a deadly puzzle. As an insidious conspiracy threatens to explode again, Irene realizes she's the only thing standing between her town and the corrupt forces trying to destroy it--and her own family is in the line of fire.
