Grave Robbers (Doc Beck Westerns Book 3)
About this ebook
Called on to perform an autopsy for a murder case, Doctor Rebekah LaRoche and Just Jimmy find themselves as unlikely detectives in a town with too many secrets.
One of the bandits who held the old mission—and Rebekah—hostage is accused of murdering Ruby Palmer, a young woman who took some of those secrets with her in death. When Rebekah discovers the truth about Ruby’s death during the autopsy, she realizes her former captor is innocent. But when she tries to bring the evidence to light, she soon learns truth isn’t something this town welcomes.
There isn’t one straight shooter in the lot—the corrupt sheriff, judge, and leading townsmen are ready to lynch the bandit with barely a trial. The only man Rebekah can put any trust in is Deputy Thad Biggins. But what hidden agenda is driving him?
With the whole town against her, Rebekah finds herself facing an impossible choice: let a bandit guilty of many crimes hang for one he didn’t commit; or make one last stand for justice by robbing Ruby Palmer’s grave.

About the Doc Beck Westerns series:
Of Omaha Indian and French descent, 34-year-old Doctor Rebekah LaRoche goes by Doc Beck, which gets her foot in doors before her patients and patrons realize she’s a woman. A sophisticated spitfire with remarkable people skills, a foot in the door is all Rebekah needs to do her job. Traveling the West in the 1890s to lend aid and cure the sick, Doc Beck finds herself solving problems and setting straight more than just broken bones. But the work doesn’t fill the longing in her heart for a place to truly call home—and someone beyond herself to believe in.
