Murder in the Backcountry

The brutally tortured body of a young man was found in the old Jasper quarry which had been closed for two decades. Deputy Bill Sparks of the Pennington County Sheriff's Office was called to investigate. Bill's investigation leads to several suspects. In his search for the killer, he discovered a military explosives container hidden in the quarry. He also found a controversial lapel pin near the container. The numbers on the container led him to the Rapid City Air Force Base for help in discovering where the container came from, and what it contained. Before Deputy Sparks can determine what was going on in the backcountry and who was involved, a local campground owner was murdered. During a search of the victim's home and the buildings in the campground, Bill uncovered some disturbing items that help Bill discover the murderer of both men, and what was really happening in the backcountry. MURDER IN THE BACKCOUNTRY is a mystery that takes place in 1948.
