About the Book

Former detective Lane Sutherlin thought justice would bring closure. Instead, it left her marked.

Book Synopsis

Lane Sutherlin thought bringing her best friend's killer to justice would finally give her peace. Instead, she's left with a chilling acquittal, whispers of jury tampering, and a part-time role with the sheriff's office that ends the moment she starts asking the wrong questions.

When a renowned fertility specialist is murdered and embryos vanish from her clinic, a terrified young woman turns to Lane-the only person she dares trust. What begins as a single act of violence exposes a crime far more calculated than a random break-in, one rooted in exploitation, corruption, and power that reaches deep into Tidewell's foundations.

The Old Guard-Tidewell's old-monied power brokers-aren't just protecting their interests. They're trafficking lives, reshaping the town in their image, and silencing anyone who threatens their control. They've bent the law, compromised its enforcers, and turned justice into a weapon. And now, they've set their sights on Lane.

With her reputation in ruins, an arrest looming, and danger closing in from all sides, Lane must decide how much she's willing to risk to expose the truth-and whether the place she still calls home is worth saving at all.

Because the storm gathering over Tidewell isn't just political.

It's personal.

And Lane Sutherlin is done running.
