The small town of Lachlan, Florida, was recently rocked when two bodies
were uncovered in the roots of a fallen tree. Despite their lack of
investigative experience, Sara Medlar; her niece, Kate; and Jack Wyatt
found themselves at the center of the mystery, working together to
reveal the truth behind a decades-old secret in the sleepy town. After a
narrow escape, they vowed to never again involve themselves in something
so dangerous--until Janet Beeson is murdered.
When Janet's body is discovered, everyone is shocked by the violence of
the attack. The sweet little old woman has been shot, stabbed and
poisoned, but no one can imagine who would want to harm one of the
town's kindest, most helpful residents.
Sara, Kate and Jack are determined to leave this case to the
professionals. But they are soon bombarded by townspeople eager to tell
their stories and clear their names with the trio who solved the Morris
murders. Even the sheriff is hoping they'll lend their skills to a crime
that seems to have no explanation and no motive. And once the town gets
talking, they begin to see that there are more secrets buried in quiet
Lachlan than anyone could have imagined...
