Death in Comanche County: Small Town Justice

Death in Comanche County: Small Town Justice

Written by the winner of Oklahomaâ€™s Book of the Year in Fiction, 2013, Crimes of Redemption. When someone brutally murders fragile retiree Effie Lawrence in Comanche County, Oklahoma, suspicion falls on the neighbor/caretaker who found her body--Cheryl Jackson, a disgraced former basketball star trying to pull her life together. Since the local Kiowa Police Chief isnâ€™t looking at anyone else for the crime, Cheryl is forced to dig for the truth herself. Stunned to link Effieâ€™s death to a treasure of ancient Mexican coins, Cheryl finds a Pawnee guide to decipher an 80-year-old map and navigate the nearby Wichita Mountains, a haven for outlaw loot in Indian Territory times.

As she edges closer to what happened, not only is Cheryl attacked and beaten, but also her friend Silas, a stubborn Auschwitz survivor who loved Effie. Add a mystery woman kidnapped and held in a basement; a creepy, chain-smoking junk store owner; a greedy nephew and his wife; and an AWOL soldier missing since the 50â€™s, and it may prove impossible to unravel this fifty-year mystery. It will take town locals, Native wisdom and know-how, and Cherylâ€™s own grit and intuition to find the truth, and herself, again.
