A dirty, small town secret. Decades of cryptic disappearances. For Lilly, it’s now or never time.

Despite the inn humming along with Gert and Brian as reliable employees and her relationship with Quigley in a good place, Lilly still can’t shake a nagging restlessness.

When a local fishing tournament brings an eclectic group of guests to the inn, Lilly lets crass Gert take the reins so that she can dive headfirst into the latest FBI cold case—seemingly unconnected John Does who vanished over the decades.

Continuing to butt heads with lead agent Brock Armstrong, Lilly starts to feel she can do nothing right. But just when she thought things couldn’t get worse, a dead body shows up, and Lilly finds herself a prime suspect alongside one of her guests.

As Lilly plunges deeper into the two cases, her mind racing with possible connections, she ventures far beyond her civilian scope and possibly her sanity, finding herself in the crosshairs of a killer who will stop at nothing to keep the past dead and buried.

With time running out and her own life at stake, Lilly uncovers a chilling truth: In this small town, some secrets are worth killing for.

Enjoy this page-turning, 10th book in the Magnolia Manor Mystery series!
