Beneath a Broken Sky

From award-nominated and USA Today bestselling author Joshua Moehling comes a tense, atmospheric thriller about one detective’s search for a mysterious killer in the chaos following a deadly storm… Detective Ben Packard has put down roots in the small town of Sandy Lake. A difficult thing to do; it’s a hot, miserable summer, and a tornado has swept through causing irreparable damage. Trees are felled, homes destroyed, and people are desperate. Worse, the storm has also blown in a group of storm chasers with something to hide. Then a woman is killed in her home. The mother of a gay boy and unpopular among the locals for the hell she recently raised at school when the administration refused to punish a group of students who were bullying her son, there’s almost too many suspects to count. But to Packard, the case hits close to home. And when someone from his past shows up on his doorstep out of the blue, he realizes he’ll have to confront the reality of navigating life as a gay man in a small town bent on tradition, no matter the cost. The heat suffocates. The violence simmers. Before the summer is out, someone else will die.
