Every back road has a secret. Be mindful of the turns.
After exposing a small town’s link to human trafficking in The Night Road, Wade Rivers realizes he’s only scratched the surface. The truth stretches far beyond state lines—and possibly into Wade’s own past.
When a survivor’s father steps forward with a lead, the trail pulls Wade north into Maryland where the already twisted case grows even darker. Now, Wade is on the trail of a man more ruthless than anyone he’s faced before. The deeper he digs, the more brutal the truths become. And some truths cut too close to home.
Slow Burn is the second book in the Wade Rivers trilogy. A fast, unforgiving rural noir, perfect for readers who love Jack Reacher and Quinn Colson.
Barry's stories are typically going to be a little spooky, if not downright scary (but this is not always the case). But he also offers glimmers of hope here and there. Some of his work could be categorized as Christian fiction, though there are typically elements of the paranormal and horror running throughout.
Barry works as a ghostwriter and lives in Virginia with his wife, three kids, and too many pets.
