Preacher Finds a Corpse

The Evan Wycliff series has won 5 awards in mystery - including this book and its sequel Preacher Fakes a Miracle winning both Gold and Silver - the top two prizes in Mystery - in the New York City Big Book Awards in the same year!

A lapsed divinity student who is fascinated by astrophysics finds his best friend shot dead in a cornfield. It looks like suicide. Having returned to his farm roots near Lake of the Ozarks, Evan works as a skip tracer for the local car dealer. He learns his friend was involved in a dispute over farmland ownership that goes back two centuries - complicated now by plans to make an old weapons facility a tourist attraction. First in a new Mystery-Thriller series.
