Georgiaâs life has finally settled down. Or so she thought. She couldnât be more wrong.
Georgia Rae Winstonâs life in the farming community of Wildcat Springs, Indiana, has found a nice, quiet rhythm. Sheâs dating Detective Cal Perkins, and everyone predicts wedding bellsâif only Cal werenât so consumed with work.
But then Clara Alspaugh, the town prodigal, comes home after thirty-eight years. She just so happens to be the woman who broke Georgiaâs dadâs heart back in high school.
The night she returns, Claraâs mother is killed during a break-in gone wrong. The scenario is eerily similar to Georgiaâs fatherâs murder nine and a half years earlier, and Georgia suspects there are lies from the past someone doesnât want unearthed.
Georgia canât get a straight answer from Clara about what really happened in high school and why she left for so many years. When Georgia digs deeper and starts asking questions around town, she discovers people will do anything to keep their dark secrets buried. Even murder.
And Georgia has risen to the top of the hit list.
