Where Evil Hides: Pine County Mysteries Book #1

Somewhere in rural Pine County Minnesota, a man of evil hides by day and stalks his female victims at night. His gruesome crimes point to a demented personality, yet his ability to elude the police shows the man to be of high intelligence and cunning. Undersheriff Dan Williams and Sergeant Floyd Swenson use every investigative technique, yet the man seems to be invisible. As they seek him out, the deputies become obsessed with a personality turned from young innocence to enraged sadism. With this his first novel, author Dean L. Hovey takes us into the inner workings of a rural county sheriff's department as they attempt to find Where Evil Hides.

"In his debut novel, Dean Hovey demonstrates strong skills as a storyteller. He has a fine sense of pace and of the people in his novel. In addition, a couple of sub-plots are nicely linked to the primary story and are satisfactorily resolved, as is the mystery itself" - Carl Bookins.
