The Maligned Marine (The Mercy and Justice Mysteries, #2)

The controversial Reverend Dexter Huckleberry begins to lead protests outside the Hoot-n-Holler, claiming that the bar is a hangout for homosexuals and other “undesirable elements.” When Huckleberry is found in his office beaten to death, suspicion falls on the last person to see him alive--an ex-Marine friend of Steve Austin who had a very public confrontation with the victim days before.
