Vengeance Road by Rick Mofina

Vengeance Road by Rick Mofina

The murder of a brokenhearted woman...

The body of Bernice Hogan, a troubled young former nursing student with a tragic past, is found in a shallow grave near a forest creek.

...and the chilling disappearance of her friend...

Jolene Peller, a single mom struggling to build a new life with her little boy, vanishes the night she tries to find Bernice.

...raise questions about their ties to a respected detective...

Hero cop Karl Styebeck is beloved by his community, but privately police are uneasy with the answers he gives to protect the life and the lie he's lived.

...and lead to one journalist's obsession to find the truth...

The case haunts Jack Gannon, a gritty, blue-collar reporter whose own sister ran away from their family years ago. Gannon risks more than his job to pursue the story behind Styebeck's dark secret, his link to the women, and the mysterious big rig roaming America's loneliest highways on its descent into eternal darkness.

I have quite a few of his books to read. Vengeance Road sounds great too. I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say about it!

I just started reading this one last night -- in fact, after I saw it posted here I remembered that it was in my stack for this week and dug it out. Pretty good so far.
