The first book in the brand-new suspense series by the author of the bestselling Forgotten Coast, FL Suspense Series.
July, 1973. Secretariat has just won the Triple Crown; "Shambala" is dominating AM radio; and Jennifer Sheehan has come home to Dismal, FL to reclaim her life and find out who murdered her family.
Eleven years ago, a racially-charged, deadly attack forever changed the lives of Jennifer's carefree group of high-school friends. Soon after, her mother, a Civil Rights activist, was strangled to death in her car. Police knew the crimes were connected, but they remain unsolved.
Now, with a new job as Dismal's first female police officer, Jennifer must confront the life she left behind when she fled her hometown: the best friend who was injured in the attack, the boyfriend whose heart she broke, and the mystery that has haunted her for eleven years.
Now the three childhood friends struggle to connect as adults, and Jennifer looks for answers to the violence that defines her past--with the reluctant help of the man who was supposed to have been her future.
But there are some people who wish Jennifer had never come home. And at least one of them is willing to kill her for it.
*Actual page count of 288pgs will not be reflected until Amazon syncs the paperback and ebook editions*
The Dismal, FL Suspense series is clean (though not Christian)character-driven, romantic suspense, rich in small-town Florida atmosphere, the nostalgic details of life in the early Seventies, and the dry humor for which McKenna's books are known.
Genre: Thriller
