Dark River (A Mountain Mystery)

 EMILY EDWARDS BOOK #2
Professor Adam Parker, a renowned Civil War historian, disappears from his mountain home while on sabbatical researching lost war treasures. A shattered kitchen window and filaments from a Taser found inside Parker’s home indicate foul play.
Emily Edwards, a strong-willed, gun-toting mountain woman, and James Wolsey, her cool and collected partner, seek clues to the kidnapping of their close friend. Frustrated with the lack of progress by state and local law enforcement, the young couple launches a parallel investigation into Parker’s disappearance.
Several suspects surface as the search for the 68-year-old professor intensifies, but it’s a race to find lost Civil War gold that leads to the New River and will determine who lives and who dies.
