Sometimes the past doesn't stay buried...
When her dog unearths a skeleton in a pecan grove, amateur detective Jessica Watts has no idea she's about to unravel a decades-old mystery that will shake a family to its core. What really happened to Paul Brown, who vanished without a trace years ago?

As Jessica investigates, she confronts a tangled web of family secrets--and she's no stranger to family issues. The suspect list grows as she learns Paul Brown had much to hide and his disappearance might have ended in murder..

From the mountains of the Texas/New Mexico border to the ranches of Mexico, Jessica will risk everything to expose the truth. But some families guard their secrets with deadly determination, and someone is watching her every move.

For fans of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone and Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan series, this gripping tale of family, betrayal, and the explosive power of long-buried secrets proves that the past always finds its way into the light -- no matter how deep it's been hidden. Perfect for readers who love Tana French's atmospheric mysteries and Lisa Jewell's domestic suspense.
