    About this ebook

    From New York Times bestselling author CJ Lyons, a new novel in her award-winning thriller-suspense series featuring Lucy Guardino

    A secret buried in an open grave returns to haunt a small town…

    When divers discover an antique car with a skeleton inside, the Beacon Group dispatches TK O’Connor to investigate into the sixty-year-old cold case.

    It’s TK’s first chance to lead an investigation and the former Marine is determined not to let her team down. But almost as soon as she arrives in the downtrodden rustbelt city her challenges mount.

    First, there’s the issue of identifying the man inside the car. Who was he and why did he seemingly drive off a cliff?

    Then, there’s the brewing racial tensions in the city. A white police officer is on trial for shooting a black man and the verdict is due any minute. When a second killing occurs the town explodes.

    As protesters threaten more violence, it’s up to TK and her boss, Lucy Guardino, to untangle the truth. But will it be powerful enough to stop the violence before anyone else is killed?
