Road Shrines

By AR Simmons

This eighth Richard Carter novel by AR Simmons is a multiple murder mystery. Road Shrines is a contemporary crime mystery involving the hunt for a serial killer with a long history.
We've all seen them, those roadside crosses marking the scene of a tragedy. The ones in Hawthorn County serve another purpose.
An unauthorized exhumation unearths the body of a girl whose abduction riveted the nation and sparked a nation-wide search eighteen years earlier. As federal investigators and national media descend on Blue Creek, Deputy Richard Carter is frozen out of the case, but not out of the spotlight. He is held up as an example of rural ineptitude by a news pundit demanding a quick solution to what appears to be a serial killer who has been operating undetected out of the area for decades.
Meanwhile, he tries to track down a missing girl who may or may not have been a victim of the killer now known as "The Gardener."
What better place to hide a body but in a cemetery?
What better way to remember a treasured one than with a shrine?
