Twenty-five years ago, a body was discovered in the Turney family barn--and the locals are all too ready to believe that killing blood ran through their veins. Every Turney came under suspicion, their reputations crumbled to pieces, and with no convictions, no one has ever been cleared.
Daughter Jill, now a Chicago lawyer, is ready for this case to be solved and for her broken family to be repaired at last. Who better to find the answers than cold-case P.I. Star Cavanaugh? But as Star begins to dig into generations-old secrets, the killer resurfaces to make sure none of those skeletons leave the closet--no matter what the cost.
As the danger mounts, Star again joins forces with police chief, Mike Luinetti, and begins to uncover truths that the whole town has kept hidden. But becoming the target of the determined killer isn't the way Star wants to find the answers. Now it's a race to solve the case before it becomes a matter of her life or death.
"A well-plotted dual time masterpiece that will keep you turning the pages well into the night."

"A twisting, turning generational story that pits innocence against evil, the past against the present, and the weak against the strong. I can't wait to see what cold case Star is embroiled in next!"
