Death in the River Valley is a murder mystery and thriller set in Depression-era Arkansas. When Rookie cop Jake Bradford discovers the body of a dead girl in a warehouse beside a political rally, he barrels head first into an investigation that leads him to the city's top officials. But when a convenient and perfectly timed perp confesses to the crime, Bradford must choose whether to accept it as truth, or keep searching for the real killer on his own. Traveling to the antiquated yet almost utopian town of Lee in the heart of the Arkansas Delta, Bradford begins to uncover a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the boundaries of his city. Powerful forces want him off the trail, and they'll do anything to silence him - forever.
