Death Splits a Hair (Judge Jackson Crain, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


When Joe Junior McBride, the beloved barber of Post Oak, Texas, is brutally murdered, friend and loyal customer Judge Jackson Crain is as disturbed by the news as everybody else. Especially since his own teenage daughter, Patty, is close friends with Joe's daughter, Ashley. The lise of suspects is impressive for such a small town: an unhappy second wife, an angry son, a pretty new barbershop assistant and an adoptive brother with secrets.

While police focus on Joe Junior's beleagured widow, the mystery deepens when young Ashley goes missing. Crain puts his considerable wits and deep insights into the struggle of good against evil to unlock the mystery of Joe Junior's live and untimely death... before a young girl pays the ultimate price.
