Moonshiner's Gold
A compelling mystery, this book combines an intriguing cast of characters with an oft-overlooked period in American history.
The year is 1927, and fourteen-year-old Riley lives with his mother and younger brother, Coy, on the family’s ranch in the Texas Panhandle. Things haven’t been easy for the family since Riley’s father died, but with hard work and devotion, they manage just fine. But all that changes when Riley and Coy stumble upon a moonshine still on their property. Riley knows that it can mean nothing but trouble, but he doesn’t know who he can trust—especially when the law refuses to help. Fortunately, Riley’s grandfather shows up just in time. Grampy is determined to outwit the outlaws, so he and the family set off on a journey to find the truth—and instead find themselves caught up in a crime ring that extends farther than they ever imagined!
