Linda Anderson's "stunning and powerful debut" (Affair de Coeur), Over the Moon, showcased her talent for seamlessly blending chilling intrigue and sensual romance. Now, in this heart-thumping spellbinder she captures the vivid beauty and dark scandals of Appalachian country. After making a name for herself in war zones around the world, photojournalist Memphis Maynard returns to her hometown in the hills of West Virginia on a most personal assignment. Her ex-lover, a tabloid reporter, is writing a juicy expose about the sensational unsolved 1936 murder of Memphis's grandmother, Sadie Maynard. Memphis is determined to beat him to the punch. But what she finds is suspicious: close-mouthed townspeople committed to protecting Cutter Tate, the respected grandson of the now deceased prime suspect.
