Guilt Strikes at Granger’s Store
by Terry Shames

Trouble hits an animal feed store in a small Texas town, leading Chief of Police Samuel Craddock to uncover jaw-dropping secrets stretching back thirty years as he grapples to solve a deadly mystery.

Chief of Police Samuel Craddock is perplexed by increasingly troubling events at Granger’s Feed Store. The shop’s owner, Melvin Granger, recently had a stroke, and his son, Mark, has moved back to the small Texas town of Jarrett Creek to look after him and run the business. But it seems that some town folk are against Mark’s plans to renovate and modernize the popular animal feed store . . . Could a devastating fire be linked to an attack on Mark and the threatening phone calls he’s been receiving?

When the mummified body of a man originally from Jarrett Creek is found in the scorched shop, Craddock’s investigation takes a sudden deadly turn. Who is determined to stop the renovation at any cost, and why? As Craddock investigates, he unearths explosive secrets stretching back thirty years . . .
