A flash flood. A body in the river. A murder no storm could hide.

Sheriff Ray Duke barely survives rescuing a family from the raging waters -- but when the flood recedes, it leaves behind coffins ripped from an old mining cemetery... and a corpse that didn't drown.

The small town of Blue Sky erupts with whispers: a crooked caretaker, a feud between prospectors, and a fortune in gold rich enough to kill for. Every clue points to Charlie Flowers -- violent, desperate, and caught red-handed with stolen flakes. But his rival, Lyle Martin, has more secrets than alibis.

As Duke fights to untangle the lies, a smooth-talking stranger arrives with deep pockets and dangerous promises. And buried beneath the greed is a thread leading back to the one case Duke has never solved -- his sister's disappearance, twenty-five years ago.

Some secrets stay buried. Others claw their way out.

Perfect for fans of clean, redemptive mysteries, this novel delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense without the grit -- just courage, conviction, and hope in the face of darkness. Be sure to begin this series with book 1, Cold As The Grave to maximize your reading experience.
