Crosshairs on the Trace

Crosshairs Patricia Bradley Investigative Services Branch (ISB) ranger Ainsley Beaumont arrives in her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a three-month-pregnant teenager. While she wishes the visit was under better circumstances, she never imagined that she would become the killer's next target--nor that she'd have to work alongside an old flame. After he almost killed a child, former FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn't bring himself to fire a gun, which had deadly and unforeseen consequences for his best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc is working at Melrose Estate as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her. The only question is, will it be too little, too late? Award-winning author Patricia Bradley continues her Natchez Trace Park Rangers series with a story about how good must prevail when evil just won't quit. I absolutely love this series. Ms. Bradley has a gift of painting a picture with words. Ainsley is just the right character, she is back in town for work and meets up with Lincoln, who she had a very close relationship . Her Aunt and Grandmother live in Natchez, Mississippi along with her father who she has a strained relationship with. There is a murder hunting Ainsley for putting in him in jail and another thief who would stop at nothing to get the journals that Ainsley’s Aunt uncovered. It was an intense ride trying to figure out. I saw that the next installment is Deception released 08/02/22.
