In a new mystery featuring Texas minister Walker βBearβ Wells, a teen tragedy hits too close to homeβ¦
The ominous text message Bear Wells received from his teenage daughter Jo simply said: βCome home.β The Texas minister never imagined heβd rush back to find her cradling the dead body of her estranged friend Phoebe. While the death rocks Sugar Land, the apparent suicide seems like an open-and-shut case. But nothing is settled in the Wells household, especially for Jo. The deeper she digs into Phoebeβs life, the more she realizes nobody knew her at all.
Bear found it hard enough dealing with Phoebeβs skimpy Goth outfits, painful-looking piercings, and the outrageous scandals she brought to his idyllic Sugar Land congregation, but now itβs his daughter whoβs acting out. Jo knows Phoebe caused major problems between her picture-perfect father and stepmom, but she has no idea whatβs at stake or whose lives are in jeopardy. Bearβs painfully aware that his last private investigation resulted in a bullet wound, so when Jo sneaks out alone to confront her primary suspect, heβs not only praying that heβll find her in timeβheβs asking forgiveness for what he may have to do to save her.
