Newly appointed sheriff Chris DeAngelo thinks that his biggest problem is where to get his next drink. But when a small-time meth dealer goes missing, DeAngelo has no choice but to investigate. He uncovers a mysterious series of cold cases dating back a decade—cases that the previous sheriff had failed to solve. When DeAngelo questions why people are disappearing from his small town, friends and colleagues offer various theories, and he soon believes that he’s being deliberately misled.

A Season to Kill is set in the gritty town of Macon, Pennsylvania, during the winter deer hunting season. As DeAngelo peels back the layers of treachery and deceit that infect his town, he’s pressured by the mayor to sweep the problem under the rug and preserve the lucrative hunting industry. Against all odds—including the town’s low opinion of him—the new sheriff uncovers the deadly secret that so many had tried to keep hidden.  

A Season to Kill offers heart-pounding action, a vivid sense of place, and characters that are richly drawn. The tightly woven plot will keep you guessing until the very last page.
