When the corrupt sheriff of Broken Creek, Arkansas detains a young black
boy on charges of accidental homicide, his sister asks Hick Blackburn,
Sheriff of Cherokee Crossing, to investigate. Hick is reluctant at
first. Not only is Broken Creek out of his jurisdiction, but Hick and
Sheriff Brewster have a history, and Hick knows Brewster won't look
kindly on his interference. But Hick quickly realizes the boy couldn't
have committed the crime. With the aid of a New York attorney trying to
make a name for herself and a shy new deputy who knows the boy's family,
Hick uncovers a conspiracy that goes to the heart of local corruption,
nepotism, and racism. But while Hick is working to free an innocent
child in Broken Creek, his beloved Maggie, pregnant with their third
child, faces challenges of her own back home. This time, will Hick's
dedication to justice extract too high a price?
The third book in Cynthia A. Graham's award-winning series, Between the
Lies is as timely as today's headlines.
