Summer of the Dead, Julia Keller

An old man is murdered yards from his home in Acker’s Gap and another meets the wrong end of a screwdriver in a seedy bar one county over. The townsfolk are still recovering from the explosion that destroyed the local diner the previous year and country prosecutor, Bell Elkins still can’t get her sister Shirley to open up to her. Even though Bell owes her so much she’s finding herself having to act more like the mother the girls never had to prevent Shirley violating her parole and being sent back to prison. 

Bell and the Sheriff are hunting a killer who moves like smoke and strikes without warning in a town full of hard luck stories and secrets hidden below the ground. It’s going to be a hot and deadly summer.
