The Dusty Road to Homicide

The Thin Blue Line Series, Book 2

By: LeeAnne James

Narrated by: Dru Steeby

Dusty Sampson's parents split up when he was four years old. Dusty's mother tries to provide as much love and guidance as she can, but at the same time, she has to work long hours just to pay the bills and put a roof over their heads.

Left to his own devices, Dusty eventually gets into drugs and alcohol. When his mother has had enough, he finds himself kicked out of her house, and forced to float from couch to couch. Consistently unemployed and out of money, Dusty decides to rob a restaurant for some quick cash but shoots two people in cold blood on the way out.

Sergeant Steve "Mac" MacIntosh and his team of investigators follow the trail that they hope will lead to the killer. But they soon realize that time is of the essence when they read the killer's Facebook messages and discover that he has plans to rob another restaurant the next night.

This is the second book in The Thin Blue Line Series, but can be listened to as a stand-alone novel.
