Grounded in Murder - Paperback

by Mark H. Bliss (Author)

A banker is found murdered, the body stripped naked, spray painted black and buried in a shallow grave at the base of a Confederate monument. The incident shocks the Elmwood, Missouri, community and sparks Black Lives Matter protests. When a second man, connected to the statue, dies from mushroom poisoning, the clues point to landscape business owner Jake Wilder as the murderer. But the truth is buried amid secrecy and deceit in the Mississippi River city, and newspaper reporters Connor Tate and Rachel Short must unravel the mystery even as the prosecution works to convict Wilder.
