When a boy is found dead with the skin of a hare’s head in his hand, everyone knows who killed him—Willis Newland, just released from prison after serving twenty years for an identical murder.
But what if everyone’s wrong?
Detective Colly Newland reluctantly agrees to investigate a case that seems to involve the whole town, including her dead husband’s extended family. But the deeper she digs, the more secrets she unearths. And as threats against her escalate, Colly realizes someone is willing to kill to keep theirs…

WOW. What an amazing read.

-Reader Review
I was blown away by how good this was. The characters were great and well developed. I consider myself well read and am good at picking out the villain, but this book had me changing my mind about “who did it” every chapter.
