The Deacon of Deadman's Creek

When Emily Carter disappears without a trace, the quiet town of Deadman's Creek is shaken to its core. Her mother's past holds a secret she never meant to revisit, and now that old shadow has reached forward and taken her daughter. With fear rising and answers scarce, Police Chief Josh Crow turns to the one man he trusts more than anyone. Barnabus Brock, better known as BB, is a retired police chief, a part time private detective, and a long time deacon at Deadman's Creek Baptist Church. He is one of the backbone members of the church, a steady presence in the community, and a man whose faith is as open as his front door. Folks know him as a prayer warrior, a servant, and someone who shows the love of Christ in everything he does. When Josh asks for his help, BB steps back into the world of investigation with the same calm wisdom that once guided him through decades of law enforcement. As he digs into Emily's disappearance, he uncovers a trail that leads straight into the buried pain of her mother's past - a past that has now come calling. With Scripture on his lips and prayer in his heart, BB follows every clue, every whisper, and every uneasy truth. What he finds is a desperate man driven by old wounds and dangerous choices. What he brings is courage, compassion, and a faith that refuses to bend. The Deacon of Deadman's Creek is a story of mystery, redemption, and the quiet strength of a man who serves both his town and his Lord. It is the first book in a planned series following BB's Spirit-led investigations as he helps the hurting, uncovers the truth, and points people to the hope found in Jesus.
