Based on shockingly true events, Killing Liberty is a highly disturbing and thought-provoking crime novel.
It boldly confronts the issue of modern emerging depravity in an already corrupt little southern Alabama city, as discovered by hardened ex-Detroit PD homicide detective Derek Raiford. He’s brought in as the new Chief of Police after the last police chief (a well-connected, loud-mouth bully) is disgraced when caught in the middle of an underage sex scandal.
Derek’s first homicide case, the gruesome decapitation of Lloyd Baylor, forty-two but recently married to a sixteen-year-old high school girl, sets off a chain of events both shocking and puzzling and soon leads to lies, desperate cover-ups, a missing girl who’s dead or on the run, fatal arson and more murders, each more shocking than the last.
And the young widow, a genuine beauty at any age and a seductive mystery in her own right, provides even more resistance against Raiford’s efforts to find her husband’s killer -- she adamantly refuses to admit the terrible truth surrounding them all, even at the cost of her own life.
In Killing Liberty, tough-as-hard-bark Derek Raiford faces an unseen but murderous plot that could easily leave him dead and buried in the backwoods.
