One small town’s dark secrets lay hidden in the hollows…
Rumors have swirled around Jake Cashen his whole life. Is he crazy like his father? Is it true they booted him out of the F.B.I. right after he cracked a career-making RICO case? Was he dirty?
Only Jake knows and he’s not telling.
He came back to his tiny hometown at the foot of Ohio’s Blackhand Hills to serve as a deputy sheriff. He hopes to punch a clock and keep his head down until retirement.
It was a solid plan. Until someone put a bullet in the head of a revered county judge.
Jake’s new boss knows Jake has a particular set of skills. The Sheriff pins a detective badge on him whether Jake likes it or not. He could have said no. But as Jake watches the locals nearly bungle the case in the first five minutes, he knows he’s all in.
As Jake digs into the murder, he soon learns Judge Rand had enemies in every corner. And someone hiding in plain sight may be plotting to bring his investigation to a deadly end.
To bring a cold-blooded killer to justice, Jake’s forced to confront every truth he’s tried to escape. Even the ones that could bury him.
Murder in the Hollows is the gripping first book in the Detective Jake Cashen thriller series. A former police detective, author Declan James brings you authentic crime fiction that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for fans of Connelly, Box, Dugoni and Baldacci.

Title: A Hometown Boy Returns
Review: I read this because the tag line of Facebook grabbed me. The disgraced FBI agent returns home as a deputy and a huge crime hits. With so many of the current detective series about serial killers, a gritty one murder with a real detective, sounded good. The story was very well done and developed at the right speed. The characters were interesting and all (mostly) played well into the story. I loved the twists and the ending was good, but unfulfilling. That said, it was a goodcread. A 4.4 out of 5 rating.

Title: Very well written
Review: First time trying Mr. Declan James novel. I found it to be quite good, which is saying something as I've been reading a lot of James Lee Burke, one of the very best writers alive.Murder in the Hollows, the story more than held its own. I'll read more of this series.

Review: The hero is good and the side issues were interesting. However, I do not like it when the whole case is explained in the last chapters.
