Book description
The Reverend Lee Barker went missing nineteen years ago & And the
people of Stillwater, Mississippi, believe they know why. They re
convinced he was murdered by his stepson, Clay Montgomery. But only Clay
and his mother and sisters can say for sure. They were the only ones
there that fateful night, the only ones who know what really happened.
And they re not talking. Allie McCormick is a cold-case detective from
Chicago. After a particularly difficult divorce, she s returned to
Stillwater with her six-year-old daughter to find the peace she once
knew in her home town and to work for the local police force while she s
starting over. But when Clay s powerful enemies join forces to put him
behind bars, Allie feels duty bound to uncover the truth. Her instincts
tell her he didn t murder the Reverend Lee Barker. Maybe Clay s a dark
and brooding man with more than his share of secrets, but he was just

s what Allie believes until she finds proof that behind the preacher s
pious demeanour lurked the heart of a monster. Then she has to ask
herself whether justice has already been done & The Reverend Lee
