Frontier Detective Digest Book

<p>The <strong>Taney County Trilogy</strong> is a gritty pulp-noir saga set against the haunting hills and hidden hollows of 1930s-1940s Missouri where the past is never truly buried. Across three interconnected mysteries-<strong>The Vigilante's Widow</strong> (1938) <strong>The Preacher's Bottle</strong> (1940) and <strong>The Drowned Ledger</strong> (1942)-private eye <strong>Frank Striker</strong> and his loyal dog Bear uncover a legacy of violence vengeance and corruption spanning decades. From the ghost of the Bald Knobbers to poisoned sermons and a ledger drowned beneath the rising waters of a new dam the trilogy peels back layers of Ozark justice and betrayal. Each installment stands alone yet together they form a sweeping tale of blood land and the price of buried secrets-where the law is thin and the truth runs as deep as the White River.</p>
