Snake in the Grass has something for everyone: a dead body, racism, social injustice, kids coming-of-age, the challenges and dangers police face, and romance, all served up with a dash of snarky humor.
The good guys are a mixed-race male detective, a smart wise-cracking female cop, and the officer's daughter. The bad guys are a network of white supremacists masquerading as respectable neighbors while covertly promoting a culture of systemic racism. "Dedicated detective Will Kelley's search for the murderer of a corpse discovered at the bottom of a country club pool forces him to expose a privileged community's evil underbelly, a network of white supremacists masquerading as respectable neighbors while covertly promoting a culture of systemic racism. The exciting twists and turns of this suspenseful mystery about social justice make for a great read." Ked Oder, Author of the Whippoorwill Hollow Series.
