A mother's love. A buried lie. She'll tear down the whole town to protect her own.
Rancher Kate Dunnigan has always believed in hard justice. But when her pregnant daughter, Emma Lee, is accused of killing her husband and disappears, Kate's world implodes. Emma Lee is desperate, traumatized, and on the run. And the more Kate digs into her son-in-law's death, the more dirt she uncovers: betrayal, festering grudges, and a brutal history someone will kill to keep buried.
Hunted by local law and shadowed by a past that won't stay quiet, Kate will do anything to protect her daughter--even if that means laying her own life on the line. But in Calaveras, justice has sharp teeth, and not everyone wants the truth to rise.
Calaveras is a psychological crime thriller set in the ruthless hills of Calaveras County. In this second installment of the Calaveras series, family secrets fester, justice bites back, and one mother's fight could tear everything apart.
