Kate Darby Crime Novel

A female cop, a dead body in the trunk of a Mercedes, and drug cartels in a small town. Kate Darby learned to hate cops at an early age, thanks to her drug addicted mom, so no one would have guessed she'd become a cop when she grew up. Now patrolling the streets of Peculiar, Texas, Kate does her best to keep her town safe. She's trained to be ready for anything on a routine traffic stop.
