The fourth book in the USA Today bestselling Carly Moore series.

Be careful where you dig…

Life in Drum, Tennessee has been quiet since corruption was uncovered in the sheriff’s department three months ago—too quiet. Still, Carly is shocked when she discovers one of her sweetest lunch customers at the tavern has committed murder in cold blood. 

Carly is certain the woman was fulfilling an infamous “favor” for the town patriarch, Bart Drummond, but now she has to prove it. She already knew that Drum has two sides—the side they show the world, and the seedy underbelly. Only in Drum, all things seedy lead back to two men—Bart Drummond and the local drug king, Todd Bingham. 

The deeper Carly gets, the more she begins to question everything, even her desire to have her own family. But even if she could forget Bart’s threat is hanging over her head, she can’t forget that her father is still searching for her, ready to drag her back to her own death. She needs to uncover the truth, but everything is buried in secrets.

This is one of the most thrilling and profound mysteries ever written by this great author. Carly is looking for ways to catch Bart Drummond -one of her nemesis- red-handed in a series of past crimes. It shouldn’t be that difficult (the man is guilty as sin), but irrevocable proof tends to slip through her fingers. In her pursuit, she gets involved in a new, apparently clear-cut murder case and gets to meet the perpetrator’s family. As piece after piece of evidence piles up, a deep sociological study of the waters lurking below the surface in Drum, Tennessee, shows us a world hit by sadness and desperation, of silent cries for help and barely hidden violence. In this context, Carly tries hard to bring back hope to the community and to herself. She gives love and friendship a chance, a huge step for someone who’s been so badly hurt before. But as she learns to rely more on those around her, she comes to realize that it’s her newfound contention network that will cause her unbearable pain once again. This is a brilliant book, with precise doses of mystery, romance, thriller, and analysis of human nature. A truly great read!
