TELL THE TRUTH AND SHAME THE DEVIL

Two children who mysteriously disappeared twenty-one years
ago are the last thing on Lorna Temple's mind when she
returns to her Pennsylvania hometown to sell the old family
property in the wake of her parents' passing. But instead of
memories, the fields where Lorna grew up yield something
utterly chilling.

All those years ago, when nine-year-old Melinda Eagan
vanished on her birthday, her foulmouthed older brother,
Jason, quickly became the lone suspect. Yet when he went
missing, too, the case turned cold. But Jason, it seeems,
never got far: His bones have been moldering on the Temples'
land for two decades. As far as the local police are
concerned, the book is closed on Melinda's murder--and
Jason's death is justice served. But Lorna refuses to let
the dead rest uneasily. She turns to private eye T.J. Dawson
to dig up the dirt of the past and see what lies beneath.
Only there's someone out there who hasn't forgotten--and who
won't be the least bit forgiving about being exposed as a
killer.
