A badass Choctaw detective tracks down the disappearance of a fellow officer, only to discover he may have been embroiled in an insidious scheme—from the award-winning author of Blood Relay.
Choctaw Detective Perry Antelope and her partner, Sophia Burns, are looking for some peace after their previous case nearly went sideways. Though they're loath to admit it, their experience left them with more than a few scrapes and scars, and some memories they'd rather forget. But the pair's next case proves to be even more treacherous when they discover that fellow officer Paul Austin has turned up dead. What's worse: he went missing in the ghost town of Doaksville, and no one has any idea why he was there.
The investigation takes Perry and Sophia on countless twists and turns as they explore possible drug ties and even begin to suspect some of Paul's closest friends. But just when they think they've cracked the case, their prime suspect is murdered. And throughout it all, they're haunted by one missing piece: What's so significant about Doaksville?
As the investigation deepens and bodies keep dropping, Perry and Sophia must race against the clock to find the perpetrator. But a tangled web of clues points them to a chilling plot that's closer to home than they could have imagined.
