A dead girl. A town full of secrets. Someone knows what happened, but they're not telling.
When Lucy Turner, the beloved fourteen-year-old daughter of the Mayor of Clutha County, is found dead at an abandoned lumber mill, it's up to Deputy District Attorney, Amelia Kellaway, and lead homicide detective, Peter O'Leary, to find out what happened.
The circumstances of Lucy's death are puzzling to say the least. Why was Lucy all the way out at the old mill site in the middle of the night? Was she running away from something at home? Or did someone lure her out there with the intention of doing her harm?
As Amelia and O'Leary dig deeper, it becomes apparent that in this small town, where everyone seems to be operating under their own agendas, the answers aren't going to be easy to come by.
What is clear, though, is that Mayor Roy Turner, a mayor with a history of being embroiled in corruption scandals, has not really changed his ways. Could Lucy's death be connected to his dubious business practices somehow? Maybe it's payback for a deal gone wrong? Or should Amelia and O'Leary be looking closer to home?
