Brewster County: Farm for sale, complete with brand new barn, old Corvette, and one dead body.
It was a hot and humid afternoon when ex-race car driver Jim Young and his brother Adam decided to check out Adam's new purchase-the childhood farm where so many memories lay. What the two never expected was to find the car that killed Catherine Throckton with a mummified corpse in the driver's seat. It had been nearly ten years since Catherine was killed by a hit-and-run driver, the same time that a local teenage boy had disappeared.
When the eyes of the law turn on Jim, he begins to engage in his own search for answers. But when his brother Adam is savagely attacked by an unknown group of assailants, the Young family bands together to try to solve the decade-old mystery. The more involved they become, the more neighbors keep turning up dead. You'd think the Sheriff of Brewster County would show a little more interest.

September 14, 2006: Very smooth read, fast action, spots of humor, a must read for every mystery fan, and 'I never knew who the killer was until the end and of course, all the clues were there.' Great read with plenty of action.
