Witness Point #2

The ghoulish mystery of the dismembered John Doe deepens as Deputy Marshal Priya Khabrani and Sheriff Kite Carter scramble to solve the murder, but as their investigation threatens the safety of those ensconced in witness protection in this idyllic Midwestern town—a former Mafia hitman turned pizza maestro, a seemingly reformed militia leader, and an unrepentant love cult guru up to his old tricks, to name a few—it becomes abundantly clear to the Sheriff that the Marshal's abrasive, full-contact style of questioning won't make her many friends around Witness Point. Plus, with the True Crime Club compromising their probe with their new podcast, Kite and Priya are forced into playing catch-up to the town's teenage reporters. Oh, and someone just tried to burn down the local insurance offices, which . . . apparently was also the town's secret sports book? How is all connected? Find out in Witness Point #2.
