Dirt Dollars Death - by Amanda Sherrill (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Inspired by true events, Dirt Dollars Death is a crime mystery novel about organized corruption in a rural county located in the Texas Hill Country and what happens when love, friendship, and loyalty don't give up the search for a missing person.

Missy, Clint, and Giselle arrive from Houston with plans to meet Missy's boyfriend and then spend a long weekend touring The Three Sisters on motorcycles. They find strange behavior from the locals, and then a mysterious man gives them startling news.

The little group, with its own personality dynamics, experiences most of the one-hundred-mile motorcycle route while they explore the small town of Leakey, travel across a mountain to Camp Wood, and eventually visit two other tiny communities (one not by choice). There are hostile encounters with the unfriendly locals, and then something happens, and their energies focus in a new direction that leads them to a fight for their lives.

The story spans four days and includes missing people, real estate fraud, identity theft, money laundering, human and other contraband trafficking, betrayal, murder, and more perpetrated by a variety of interconnected crime syndicates as well as by individuals with their own agendas. The reader will not only ride along with the protagonists through scenic landscapes but will also see into some of the locals' relationships and operations, all of whom will do the ultimate evil to keep their secrets safe.
