Detective John Jordan came to Florida chasing quiet—an escape from Atlanta, from violence, from a past that refused to stay buried. But peace never lasts.
After witnessing the disturbing death of an inmate inside a state prison, John finds himself pulled back into the kind of mystery he swore he’d left behind. When two frightened children beg him to find their missing mother, Candace Miles, walking away is no longer an option.
As John digs deeper, the questions multiply. Was the inmate’s death murder, a fatal accident, or a carefully staged suicide? And how is it connected to Candace’s disappearance? The answers lie in a dangerous web of secrets, where nothing is as it seems—and every truth comes at a cost.
Fast-paced and emotionally charged, Power in the Blood is a gripping whodunit that forces Detective Jordan to confront his darkest fears and the past he can’t outrun.
