First Book in the Pastor Matt Hayden Mystery Series
He was a good cop until he ran into a bad one. Then, to save what was left of his family and his sanity, Michael Hogan, Jr., entered the Fed’s Witness Protection Program and became Pastor Matthew Hayden.
Just out of seminary, Matt takes a church in rural Texas, expecting peace, quiet and a good dose of humilty. What he finds is a town ruled by the past and an old woman murdered. To make matters worse, the dead woman’s daughter, Angie O’Day runs the town’s Ice House and is truly an angel by day and a devil by night.
Matt might be a man of God now, but he is still a man.
When the second body is discovered and accusations are levied at the innocent Angie, Matt is forced to put on an old hat—his cop hat—and discover the buried secrets of Wilks, Texas.
