Publisher's summary
Former Texas Ranger Arlo Baines didn't come to the tiny West Texas town of Piedra Springs to cause trouble. After his wife and children were murdered, Arlo just wants to be left alone. Moving from place to place seems to be the only thing that eases the pain of his family's violent end.
But a chance encounter outside a bar forces him to rescue a terrified woman and her children from mysterious attackers. When the woman turns up murdered the next day - her children missing - Arlo becomes the primary suspect in exactly the same type of crime he is trying desperately to forget.
Haunted by the fate of his family, and with the police questioning the existence of the dead woman's children, Arlo decides it's his duty to find them. The question is, just how deep will he have to sink into the dusty secrets of Piedra Springs to save them and clear his name?

Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friend's death, it becomes apparent that foul play is at hand.

Story
What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

interesting enough to keep me listening
the part of the story has been told in other books and movies with this one adding a more sordid twist. it took awhile for me to get into it because the protagonist did some stupid things that one would suppose a Texas Ranger would not do. for instance not immediately making a connection to the woman's clothing and some sort of religious connection. also when the other Texas Ranger made an insult referring to his grandchildren, I found it hard to believe that he wouldn't have retorted that he wasn't going to have any considering his have been killed

Start of the Arlo Baines series?
Arlo Baines is an ex-Texas Ranger whose wife and two young children were murdered 9 years ago in Dallas. The murderers, crooked Dallas cops, are dead by his own hand and his father-in-law, a banker whose illegal activities resulted in the deaths of his daughter and grandchildren, is serving a life sentence in prison. Arlo has for 9 years thumbed and ridden buses around Texas. He finds himself in the small west Texas town of Piedra Springs when he meets a woman and her two children who are attempting to escape a religious cult which has branches throughout the US but is headquartered outside Piedra Springs. That night the woman is murdered and her children disappear. Arlo then runs into a female NY Times reporter whose sister and niece are trapped in the cult.
Along the way Arlo and the reporter find that the religion is a front for the cults huge illegal money making operations.
Arlo Baines is a very empathetic and likable protagonist! I hope this is the start of a series. Eric G Dove narrates beautifully.
Thanks to Audible listener Shelley whose review led me to this novel and this author.

A new hitchhiking Knight in Blue Jeans...
I have just fallen for a new author! I have never read anything by Harry Hunsicker before but decided to give this one a try and I am so glad I did...
This book is very Reacher-ish in that the protagonist, Arlo Baines is a former Texas ranger turned traveler. Going from one town to the next, spending up to three days and then moving on. He gets around by either hitching rides or taking a bus, only wanting to keep on the move, read books and forget about a heinous act that took his wife and children. He's also a "knight" righting wrongs perpetrated on the weaker by those with power.
In this book he arrives in a new town and is approached shortly after by a woman dressed in a prairie dress begging for help to escape. She says the people chasing her will kill her and her children. Because of a fight with two men coming to retrieve her and a storm he looses track of her and the next day she is found murdered and her two children are missing. The rest of the book deals with Arlo looking for the children and trying to find out why this woman was killed.
Eric G. Dove does an excellent job narrating. He is perfect for this book.
Very HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
