Murder Creek

When secrets are buried, bodies are next.

When a man from Dieter Bergheim's past shows up demanding payback for a decades-old betrayal, Dieter refuses to budge. Days later, a break-in at his brother's ranch leaves one man dead and a stash of cash exposed. And Noble County deputy Adam Cash is called in to investigate.

A combat veteran with his own ghosts to silence, Cash uncovers a pile of evidence: a mysterious hole in a workshop floor, a murder weapon with no clear owner, $1.4 million gone missing, and a suspect list longer than a Texas highway. With the past clawing its way into the present and the body count rising, Cash must track a killer who's getting bolder by the day.

But when the murderer breaks into his home, Cash has to face the truth—he might not be chasing the killer. He might be the next target.

A buried past. A stolen fortune. A relentless deputy. And a killer who's getting too close.

Murder Creek is the third gripping installment in the Adam Cash Mystery series, perfect for fans of Craig Johnson, C. J. Box, and gritty small-town thrillers with big stakes.

Award-winning Texas author Jeff Kerr delivers his most personal and high-stakes novel yet—packed with authentic characters, razor-sharp twists, and the spirit of the modern West.
