About this item
Someone’s found the skeleton in the closet, and it’s not the only one. Wall Street Journal bestselling author Debra Webb presents an emotional new mystery.
Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is.
Vera and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never bonded with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.
It’s a summer in small-town Tennessee, so thick with humidity it could drown you and so rife with secrets it could smother you. The oppressive atmosphere mirrors the tension Vera feels as she confronts long-buried memories and unravels the mystery of her stepmother's death. As Vera delves deeper into the investigation, she discovers that the cave holds more than just the remains of her stepmother—there are other bodies, each with their own dark story.
The revelation of these hidden graves pulls Vera into a web of deceit, betrayal, and family secrets. Her quest for the truth puts her at odds with the town she once called home, and she must navigate a minefield of old grudges and new dangers. As she pieces together the past, Vera realizes that uncovering the truth might come at a high cost.
With time running out and the pressure mounting, Vera must rely on her skills as a crime analyst and her resilience as a daughter and sister to bring justice to the dead and peace to the living. The emotional journey forces her to confront not only the town’s buried secrets but also her own, as she seeks redemption and closure in a place where the past refuses to stay hidden.
