When a girl is beaten to death and her body tossed down a fiery sinkhole in an abandoned coal town, Dove is faced with solving the most shocking crime of her law enforcement career. She identifies the girl as a member of a local family of petty criminals. To further complicate things, the man convicted of killing Dove's mother is released from prison and reveals a startling accusation. Dove now must face the chilling parallels between her own family's trauma and that of the dead girl's. "A darkly compelling look into how the past colors the present, this psychological thriller will linger" (RT Book Reviews) with you long after you turn the final page.
