The Killer from Marble Falls High

A Texas Hill Country Mystery Novel

By: Jon Swank

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Situated in the northern section of the Texas Hill Country lies the small town of Marble Falls, cut in half by the Texas Colorado River. In March of 2021, not long after the insurrection on the United States democracy, the tranquil town is hit with the after shocks of hate and hypocrisy set in stone from the previous four years. The top alt-right groups in the nation expand their membership deep into the ranks of Marble Falls High School. Students are cheated out of their normal teenage life by the Covid 19 Pandemic. Many are forced to attend classes at home via Zoom, others are made to walk the halls in single file wearing masks while keeping six feet apart. Some of these students become prime targets for those wishing to spread their agenda of hate. A hate so intense that it eventually leads to murder in Marble Falls. Trever Ryan and Fritz Carter live close by outside of town on a one hundred acre ranch once used for raising cattle. Best friends since kindergarten, the boys grow up to reach high school and encounter a stumbling block in their friendship due to Trever coming out during the school’s Christmas recital in his junior year. Fritz, the high school quarterback, fears for his reputation having a close friend who is gay and out of the closet. Circumstances bring the two boys together during their senior year along with a small group of friends to help the Marble Falls’ Chief of the Criminal Investigation Division, Trever’s father, get the killer behind bars.
