Newly elected Chief of Police Samuel Craddock, just back from a stint in the Air Force, finds himself an outsider in the investigation headed by the Texas Highway Patrol. He takes an immediate dislike to John Sutherland, a racist trooper Craddock's fears are realized when Sutherland arrests Truly Bennett, a young black man whom Craddock knows and respects. Sutherland cites dubious evidence that points to Bennett, and Craddock uncovers facts leading in another direction. When Sutherland refuses to relent, Craddock is faced with a choice that will define him as a lawman--either let the highway patrol have its way, or take on a separate investigation himself. Although his choice to investigate puts both Craddock and his family in danger, he perseveres. In the process, he learns something about himself and the limits of law enforcement in Jarrett Creek"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"In this prequel, a young Samuel Craddock, as the newly elected chief of police in Jarrett Creek, must investigate the murder of five black residents and confront the ingrained prejudices in the small Texas town"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aSamuel Craddock Mysteries 606 $aFICTION / Mystery & Detective / General$2bisacsh 606 $aFICTION / Mystery & Detective / Police Procedural$2bisacsh 608 $aMystery fiction.$2gsafd 615 7$aFICTION / Mystery & Detective / General. 615 7$aFICTION / Mystery & Detective / Police Procedural. 676 $a813/.6 686 $aFIC022000$aFIC02202$2bisacsh 700 $aShames$b Terry$01080465 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154857903321 996 $aAn unsettling crime for Samuel Craddock$92593574 997 $aUNINA
