Drum in the YellowHawk: A Brenda Tower Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798665033792)

Resigning her position on the Portland, Oregon, Police Department never enters Brenda Tower's mind until she meets Lin Stone, a county sheriff in southeastern Washington. She throws off her vacation to help the sheriff bring down a vicious killer and they end up in each other's arms. Accepting a detective sergeant position on the Walla Walla Police Department puts her 30 miles from Stone's town of Dayton. If they are to enjoy a future together, she must have ample time to really get to know him. She moves to Walla Walla with the expectation that she will have a slower work pace with less violent crime. Unfortunately, her expectation, the image in her mind, does not match the reality on the ground. The Washington State Board of Prisons recently released ninety inmates from the Walla Walla Penitentiary to make room for newly sentenced felons. Some of these men are hardened criminals. Walla Walla and surrounding communities are experiencing a spike in burglary, human trafficking, assault, rape, and murder. The reader is invited to join Detective Tower, and her partner, Detective Ritter, during their interrogation of a stuttering detainee who strongly denies that he raped a coed. Accompany Brenda leaving the DMV office when a tall, handsome stranger opens the door for the two of you. Out on the sidewalk he asks her if she is new in town. Following her answer, he says that he is a professor at the College. She will lay eyes on him once again under circumstances that most people can hardly imagine. Trudge through a vineyard with them to the scene of a puzzling homicide. The victim is wearing a three-piece suit, but he is shoeless. Meet the stocky man in glasses who comes to Brenda's rescue at the side of the road. Observe his behavior days later when two uniformed policemen come into his view. Is Brenda in the presence of a man with a very dark, mysterious past? Join the fourteen-year-old Farley twins in YellowHawk Creek when they make a most unusual discovery. Finally, ride alongside Brenda on an early morning high-speed chase in pursuit of a deadly killer
