Secret Undertaking
About This Book
During Gainesboro's annual Apple Festival Parade, funeral director and deputy sheriff Barry Clayton is helping with a fundraiser float when a gunman attacks the event's grand marshal, critically wounding Barry's Uncle Wayne. Within the hour, another body is found carrying the shooter's food-stamp card, signaling that the attack is part of something much larger. As the death count rises, Barry and Sheriff Tommy Lee Wadkins are forced into a case that intersects with federal witness-protection operations and organized criminal violence. Cracking it may depend on Barry's most unlikely ally.
