Lethal harvest

A cryptic letter from a prison inmate pulls Detective Jake Cashen back into one of the darkest chapters in the history of Blackhand Hills.

Jake is poised to reopen a chilling murder case once thought closed. In just six weeks, Wesley Wayne Hall will be executed for the heinous murder of Ruby Ingall, a beloved member of the Blackhand Hills farming community. Ruby’s murder tore her family apart and took them fifteen years to pick up the pieces. But Hall swears he’s innocent and reaches out to Jake with proof he can’t ignore.
