The Moonshine Messiah: A Mountaineer Mystery

Russell W. Johnson
4.28/5 (87 ratings)
As if being a woman sheriff in the West Virginia coal fields wasn't tough enough, Mary Beth Cain's life is complicated by the fact that the local hillbilly crime syndicate is run by her mother, Mamie. It's an association that, along with Mary Beth's head-busting ways, has her staring down a corruption investigation when she gets a surprise visit from Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Connelly.

Twenty years earlier, Patrick was Mary Beth's high school sweetheart, but they broke up because Mary Beth couldn't cut the loose ties she maintains with her villainous family. Now Patrick's worked out a deal to wipe Mary Beth's slate clean if she'll just arrest her brother, Sawyer, who is the cult leader of a booming anti-government militia that's been giving the Feds headaches. It's an offer Mary Beth refuses until Sawyer's followers blow up a federal courthouse and G-men start swarming into town, preparing for a siege of the commando's compound.

Suddenly Mary Beth is tasked with trying to head off a bloody, Waco-style massacre and the question isn't whether she should arrest her brother, but if she can do it in time.
