Fourteen-year-old Jolene Goudy ran away from a mother who
never wanted her. Now she's running from someone who does.
A predator of underage girls.
Jolene Goudy is missing. Her mother says she is probably just off with friends
chasing boys and partying and will be back when she runs out of money or gets
homesick. The police go along with this and aren't taking the disappearance too
seriously. The only person who seems concerned is Army Ranger Bonham Nash,
who isn't even family. He's the soldier whose life the girl's father saved in Iraq by
heroically sacrificing his own. Nash asks investigative journalist J.D. Bragg to help
find her. J.D. agrees and quickly uncovers a tangled world of greed, cruelty, sexual
abuse, and murder. And a mystery with more twists and turns than the roads of the
Blue Ridge Mountains where his search takes him.
J.D. Bragg is a man who never met a wrong he didn't want to right.
For fans of C.J. Box's Joe Pickett, John Sanford's Virgil Flowers, and Craig
Johnson's Walt Longmire--Ron Fisher's MOUNTAIN GIRL is the perfect read.
