It looked like suicide.
It wasn’t.
When a young woman is found dead in a quiet Georgia town, the case is closed without question.
Suicide, they say.
But Detective Charlie McClung knows better.
The evidence doesn’t add up.
The story doesn’t hold.
And someone wants the truth buried.
As McClung digs deeper, he uncovers secrets hidden behind friendly smiles—and a killer who will do anything to stay hidden.
But the case isn’t the only thing pulling at him.
The victim’s neighbor, Marian, knows more than she’s saying…and getting close to her may be just as dangerous as the case itself.
In a town built on secrets, trusting the wrong person could cost him everything.
Now he’s running out of time.
