Book description
Lily Bard has started over in the quiet town of Shakespeare, Arkansas,
as a cleaning lady. She works out her anger and the pain of her past
with martial arts. For Lily, the gym is a place to get away from her
troubles, not find more of them. But when she stumbles on the corpse of
a local bodybuilder, his neck broken with a barbell, the town's
underlying racial tensions begin to boil over. The white victim was
connected to two unsolved murders of black residents in Shakespeare, and
a dogged policeman is determined to stop the killing. Lily may have to
decide whether to stay and fight for justice, or run away one more time.
Charlaine Harris is the internationally bestselling author of the Sookie
Stackhouse books, now the EMMY AWARD-winning TV series TRUE BLOOD, as
well as the Aurora Teagarden and Lily Bard mystery series. She lives in
southern Arkansas with her family.
