Shadow Valley by achats Brown, Alan NEUF

In a dark valley in the Arkansas Ozarks there is a world all to its own. In the woods just north of Little Sugar Creek, a mother and daughter have gone missing. Their husband and father, a real estate mogul from Branson who is willing to spare no expense to bring his family home, calls on an old friend to find them: detective Booger McClain. In the weeks that follow, McClain and his wife Rose uncover much of what is hidden at Shadow Valley. The picture that emerges from the fog is one of greed, sex, drugs, true love, pain, helplessness, pride, and the ever-present desire among friends and enemies to survive and rise above the low ground.

Shadow Valley is the fifth book in Alan Browns Booger McClain detective series and the third authored by both Alan and his son, former journalist Brian Brown. This installment is a fully fictional mystery that weaves in real details of the fast-growing Northwest Arkansas area with vibrant descriptions of the broader Ozarks to elevate the thrilling narrative. The result is a novel that will have readers on the edge of their seats and deeply immersed in a place theyll find close to home -- wherever they are from.
