Malice Within (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231033652)

A murdered deputy. A sheriff's office full of secrets. A town where nothing adds up.

When Dominion County Sheriff's Captain Ron Neff is called to a remote crime scene in the Oregon high desert, he finds his colleague, Deputy Bill Baker, shot dead. But the deeper Neff digs, the more tangled the evidence becomes. Witnesses vanish. Forensic clues contradict each other. Some vanish. And higher-ups in the department seem intent on keeping things quiet.

Then another case emerges-one that might be linked to the murder. It could blow the entire investigation wide open.

With pressure mounting and eroding trust inside the sheriff's office, Neff must navigate a web of lies, corruption, and danger. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes: someone powerful doesn't want this case solved-and they may be willing to kill again to prevent it.

Malice Within is a gripping crime thriller of murder, power, and betrayal set in the stark beauty of Oregon's high desert.
