Summary:"When seven murder victims are found in a small town, the homicide investigation shakes a small-town sheriff to her core"-- Sullivan County, Georgia. One historic lake house. Seven murder victims. Two versions of the truth.... When Army Rangers posted to the local base are implicated in a major crime, the investigating team is led by Major Jeremiah Cook. Sheriff Emma Williams has never worked a multiple homicide, and Cook knows it. And the evidence doesn't fit the secrets he is learning. Unless Cook can convince the locals that the recent crimes are part of a larger mystery, this outsider may never unlock the truth"--Adapted from jacket.
