She came back to untangle her father's crimes. She didn't expect to find the one man who could make her stay.
Forensic accountant Cara Mulgrave has spent eighteen years putting distance between herself and Kalloway, North Carolina, and the damage her father left behind. Then the state AG's office offers her a job she can't refuse: come home, follow the money, and help close a corruption case that never really died.
What starts as an investigation turns into something far more dangerous.
The deeper Cara digs, the more she finds, a thirty-year network of dirty deals, two deaths that were never accidents, and a trail of money leading straight to people who have spent decades protecting the truth.
Deputy Walt Prewitt knows Kalloway better than anyone. He also knows the closer Cara gets to the answers, the more likely someone will stop her for good. Keeping his distance should be easy. It isn't.
Because Cara was supposed to be temporary.
The case was supposed to be business.
And in a town built on old lies, wanting her may be the most dangerous mistake Walt has ever made.
