Book description
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...
