Overview
When Cherokee burial remains are unearthed on the site expanding a local cemetery, the dual occupations of Barry Clayton, part-time deputy and full-time undertaker, collide. Then, during the interment of the wife of one of Gainesboro, North Carolina's most prominent citizens, Cherokee activist Jimmy Panther leads a protest. Words and fists fly. When Panther turns up executed on the grave of the deceased woman, Barry suspects her family, but signs point to a Boston hit man. Sheriff Tommy Lee Wadkin's pal, Boston cop Kevin Malone is on the hit man's trail, convinced his quarry is the triggerman. The investigation leads to the reservation where Panther's efforts to preserve Cherokee traditions threatened the development of a new casino that could bring millions and huge yearly payouts to every member of the tribe. Determined to find answers, Barry goes undercover. But the stakes are higher than he realized in this risky undertaking, and Barry must play his cards very carefully... A native of western North Carolina, Mark sets most of his mysteries in the Appalachian Mountains. Risky Undertaking is the sixth Buryin' Barry novel. He and his wife Linda live in Charlotte. www.markdecastrique.com
