Description

In the wake of a brutal crime in small-town Texas, a sharp-eyed investigator is pulled into a web of secrets where race, class, and power shape every relationship. As the case unfolds, she must navigate shifting loyalties and the quiet violence of everyday life, uncovering how the past can determine who gets protected—and who gets punished. With Attica Locke’s signature blend of suspense and social insight, the novel explores justice, moral compromise, and the cost of truth in communities that prefer silence. Equal parts thriller and character-driven drama, it delivers a tense, propulsive journey toward answers—without ever losing sight of the human stakes.
