Reavis Z. Wortham

A Texas Red River mystery, [8]

"It's January, 1969, in the small rural community of Center Springs, Texas. Constable Ned Parker is looking into the seemingly accidental death of his nephew R.B., who was found in his overturned pickup near Sanders Creek bridge. Eventually, the investigation leads Parker back to the Starlite Club, a dangerous honky-tonk recently constructed in a no-man's land on the Lone Star side of the Red River. Although Ned's investigation uncovers suspicious characters, drugs, and gambling, the series of murders that eliminated any potential witnesses to what happened to R.B. on that cold January night, is the most troubling. Constable Parker finds himself involved in a high stakes game of consequences with no end-game in sight."-- Provided by publisher
