Fate forces family man Stuart Riedel to accept a position as a detective in small town Sweetwater, Missouri. A drug lord from Stuart's early U.S. Marshal days makes connections in their community, sending a killer with particularly sensitive knowledge about Stuart's family to handle business.

Meanwhile, twenty miles away in Blackhorse, Missouri, Charlie Joe "C.J." Bingham is the adopted white daughter of black parents. Her family taught her the value of faith in God and hard work. Her parents are dead now, and C. J. is resisting marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Sheriff Jeremiah Stone as she searches for her biological parents.

The lives of these two families intertwine as danger engulfs them. Can Stuart find the killer before he strikes again? Who will he hunt next? Charlie Joe, Jeremiah and the Riedel family must rely on faith, both in God and in their loved ones, to overcome and carry on.

This is a skillfully delivered page-turner. Any reader with a taste for a bit of mystery mixed with suspense is likely to enjoy this Hunt. ~BlueInk Review, September, 2015
