Resurrection Mall: A Penns River Crime Novel

by Dana King - Fiction, Mystery, Police Procedural

As if things aren’t bad enough in Penns River, development and funding of a new religious-themed mall grinds to a halt when heavily armed assassins cut down five leaders of the town’s fledgling drug trade while eating lunch in the food court. The television minister behind the mall has associates not normally associated with a ministry, outside drug gangs may be muscling into town, and the local mob boss could have an angle of his own. The cops have this and all the usual local activity to contend with in a story that extends beyond the borders of Penns River.
