Blood river witch : a novel / T.J. Martinson.
"Deputy Sheriff Alicia Moore is summoned to the scene of a grisly murder in an abandoned tobacco barn. The horribly disfigured victim is her ex-fiancé, Jake. Worse, the scene echoes an elaborately staged occultist murder that has haunted the town for years. Both Alicia and Jake were suspected of involvement in that earlier crime. The investigation led to their breakup, and the small town branded Alicia as the 'Blood River Witch,' a moniker the young deputy struggles in vain to dispel even all these years later. Following this new murder, old doubts about Alicia's involvement reemerge. The mystery deepens with the arrival of an overly enthusiastic criminology student researching the confluence between religious trauma and occult crime. Caught between her retired sheriff father, who has always questioned the innocence of his now estranged daughter, the community's judgmental eyes, and her own harrowing ties to the case, Alicia must navigate a maze of convicts, corrupt officials, and clergy to prevent a gruesome history from repeating itself"-- Provided by publisher.
