Adoration

Lieutenant Matt Riley is a detective on the Brooklyn Police department spiraling toward self-destruction until his captain "volunteers" him for an officer exchange program—to a small town called Adoration Tennessee. Detective Riley thinks his biggest challenges will be goat kidnappings and a farmer growing marijuana among his tomatoes. But Adoration lies on the outskirts of Black Ridge, and something very bad is happening in Adoration. When a lovely young widow becomes the primary suspect in a homicide that the witnesses insist "a ghost done," and the outbreak of an incurable plague threatens the entire town, Detective Riley finds his assignment to the backwoods a lot more interesting—and dangerous—then he'd anticipated.
