Appalachian Crime



book cover for Burning Without Knowing






Innocence is lost early and only its illusion masks the darkness burning deep within, ensured to rage on by the sins of our fathers. For Shawna, the untimely demise of a southern West Virginia copper thief spirals her life out of control. The death forces her into a world of corrupt officials, psychotic criminals, and vindictive women blazing a trail of violence. Will the price of her father’s sins force Shawna to make new ones of her own? Sins that will pull her deeper into the bottomless chasm of her own darkness.
