The Daughter

By AR Simmons

This tenth Richard Carter novel by AR Simmons is a contemporary crime mystery. The Daughter involves the disappearance of Blue Creek's "golden girl," whose smiling face adorns the billboard promoting the local junior college.
In this mystery/crime tale, Richard Carter becomes emotionally involved while trying to discover what happened to pretty and brilliant Shara McGregor. She left for Springfield, where she was to attend the university in the fall, but her abandoned car was found abandoned in an area of the Ozarks called "The Irish Wilderness." Besides her blood in the car, there is no physical evidence.
Small town politics, a tale of possible blackmail, and internet-driven perversion threaten to make the girl a victim twice over. However, unexpected evidence from beyond the grave helps Carter uncover the horrific truth and put the girl's murderers where they belong.
