About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes the riveting return of crime analyst Vera Boyett, fighting for justice—and her life—amid her Tennessee roots.
Vera Boyett is a talented detective who excels at solving cases.
After a tragic event ruined her career as a deputy police chief, she was at a loss. Returning home to be close to her sisters, Vera decided to put her investigative skills to use as a crime analyst, and now she is back on top. Her expertise is put to the test when Sheriff Gray 'Bent' Benton asks for her help with a critical case.
Setting their complicated history aside, Vera agrees to aid Bent in the search for a missing journalist. Their quest leads them to a shocking connection to the Messenger, a serial killer she helped put in prison twelve years ago. With the killer seeking vengeance in his final days battling cancer, the journalist is just a decoy - Vera is his true target.
As the Messenger involves her sister Eve in his sick game, Vera is determined to put an end to his reign of terror. But can she locate Eve and the journalist before it's too late?
