Living Grave
The
first in a gritty new series featuring sheriff’s detective Katrina
Williams, as she investigates moonshine, murder, and the ghosts of
her own past…
BODY
OF PROOF
Katrina
Williams left the Army ten years ago disillusioned and damaged. Now a
sheriff’s detective at home in the Missouri Ozarks, Katrina is
living her life one case at a time—between mandated therapy
sessions—until she learns that she’s a suspect in a military
investigation with ties to her painful past.
The
disappearance of a local girl is far from the routine distraction,
however. Brutally murdered, the girl’s corpse is found by a
bottlegger whose information leads Katrina into a tangled web of
teenagers, moonshiners, motorcycle clubs, and a fellow veteran
battling illness and his own personal demons. Unraveling each thread
will take time Katrina might not have as the Army investigator turns
his searchlight on the devastating incident that ended her military
career. Now Katrina will need to dig deep for the truth—before
she’s found buried…

“True
Detective” meets H.P. Lovecraft in this chilling novel of murder,
mystery, and slow-mounting dread from acclaimed author Mary
SanGiovanni . . .
It
begins with a freak snowstorm in May. Hit hardest is the rural town
of Colby, Connecticut. Schools and businesses are closed, powerlines
are down, and police detective Jack Glazier has found a body in the
snow. It appears to be the victim of a bizarre ritual murder. It
won’t be the last. As the snow piles up, so do the sacrifices. Cut
off from the rest of the world, Glazier teams up with an occult crime
specialist to uncover a secret society hiding in their midst.
The
gods they worship are unthinkable. The powers they summon are
unstoppable. And the things they will do to the good people of Colby
are utterly, horribly unspeakable…

Really enjoyed this book! It was so much better than I had anticipated! Kept me from page one! To be able to escape into the lives of the characters and their daily lives was crazy! Things that happen, the way it happen... all behind the cover!
This is a well written book. You can tell that the author has really thought this story out!

Excerpt:
A
Living Grave
“I
know your Uncle Orson,” he said. “Been fishing with him more
times than I can remember.”
I
crouched to be close to the ground and kept poking around the body
with my stick, then sketching things in the pad. Clare’s talk was
actually soothing to hear. Normal, even though he was doing it to
keep his mind off of something not normal in his life at all.
“Your
daddy too. Way back when.”
I think
I nodded, reacting more to the sound than his words. Tossing my stick
aside, I stood, then circled the body. Each time I stopped I added to
my sketches. I had to force myself to look into the face. Into where
the face had been. I sketched. Then I looked away. I sketched her
hair. Then I looked away.
“There
are monsters in the woods,” Clare said, his back still to me. I was
listening then. “It used to be a joke. When I was a kid, people
talked about Momo, the Missouri monster. It was like a local Bigfoot.
But the real monsters are people, aren’t they?”
I didn’t
answer him.
“Perverts.”
He spit the word out. “Monsters that do that to children. There
isn’t hate big enough for them nor a hell deep enough. This will
rile some people up. He lives in one of those piece-of-crap mobile
homes in that big development off of F Highway. You know, over by the
McKenna farm.”
“Who
does?” I had stopped writing and was paying very close attention to
Mr. Bolin at that point.
