Suspense
Ex-prosecutor Mary Crow didn’t expect a hero’s welcome
when she returned home to Pisgah County, North Carolina.
But what she did expect was the job she’d been promised in
the D.A.’s office. Instead she found she’d worn out her
welcome before she even arrived–and that she has more than
a few enemies among the supporters of the corrupt sheriff
she’d caught sidelining in murder years before. The new sheriff was one of Mary’s childhood schoolmates,
timid and nerdy Jerry Cochran. Only Cochran is neither
nerdy nor timid anymore. And when a young girl is found
brutally murdered and everyone, including the girl’s
parents and the police, is sure the killer is a young,
mystical Ani Zaguhi Cherokee named Ridge Standingdeer,
Mary’s first case in her own law firm slams her into the
heart of a controversy. As a prosecutor, Mary was used to
tenaciously tracking down the guilty. Now she finds
herself on the other side of the law, defending a client
she’s sure is innocent against a merciless system, a
bigoted town…and an even more ruthless killer. With her
old lover Jonathan Walkingstick, Mary will have to go
where she’s never gone before–a place where a psychopath
with the perfect mask and a shocking secret is waiting to
add Mary herself to his growing collection of silent
victims.
