Brooks Sheffield Love & Crime Novels

Bucolic Riverton, Georgia, becomes the scene of mystery and murder as former editor Brooks Sheffield moves back to his hometown. Beneath huge oak trees and Spanish moss, the former newspaper editor faces people who'd like to see him disappear, and a deeper enigma lingering in his own home. 

Longing, romance, despair — and fear

 

Love and crime. Most unexpectedly, former newspaper editor Brooks Sheffield finds both as he embarks on a new life in the town of his youth. Strange things happen as he’s settling into his new home in an old schoolhouse. He overhears a murder and gets a visit from a young, provocative escort with a proposition for him.

 

Life doesn't improve from there on out.

 

Follow the intrigue, the love, and the mystery that slap Sheffield in the face on his journey to rediscover himself.

Old murders come back to haunt a town

 

Before Christmas 1937, a prominent Riverton resident shot and killed his sister and brother-in-law during breakfast. Fifty years later the town is haunted anew by the murders and the man who committed them. He’s long dead but his bequest of a park near Riverton dredges up memories best kept buried. Newspaper editor Brooks Sheffield and his crime-busting buddy Dub Campbell team up to solve the mystery around old deaths — and new slayings along the way.

Red Farlow No. 6

CATAWBA FALLS

Red Farlow travels to Camp Ridgemont for Boys for a reunion with his summer camp friends. On arrival, he discovers two camp counselors have been found in the woods, hacked to death. Red’s investigation soon widens with more mysterious deaths, one of them a close friend.

 

Far-right extremist Troy Unsworthy knows the hills and hollows after a lifetime of growing up in these mountains. Red discovers all the victims are connected to Unsworthy from a deadly auto accident years earlier.

 

When he learns Unsworthy was released just before the counselors’ deaths, Red goes into the mountains. His trek requires sure-footedness over rocky terrain and old-growth forest as he explores caves with endless tunnels, shafts, and deep-water pools searching for his suspect.

 

But, did Unsworthy really murder these people, or should Red turn his attention to other suspects?

 

Red treads a treacherous path on his quest to find the killer and bring him to justice.
