β Scribed by Slaughter, Karin
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
When the body of a young woman is discovered deep beneath the icy waters
of Lake Grant, a note left under a rock by the shore points to suicide.
But within minutes, it becomes clear that this is no suicide. It's a
brutal, cold-blooded murder. All too soon former Grant County medical
examiner Sara Linton - home for Thanksgiving after a long absence -
finds herself unwittingly drawn into the case. The chief suspect is
desperate to see her but when she arrives at the local police station
she is met with a horrifying sight - he lies dead in his cell, the words
'Not me' scrawled across the walls. Something about his confession
doesn't add up and deeply suspicious of Lena Adams, the detective in
charge, Sara immediately calls in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Shortly afterwards, Special Agent Will Trent is brought in from his
vacation to investigate. But he is immediately confronted with a wall of
silence. Grant County is a close-knit community with loyalties and ties
that run deep. And the only person who can tell the truth about what
really happened is dead...
