Description
Two murders. Same library. Ninety-nine years apart.
When Captain Kate Gazzara investigates the poisoning death of Augustus Aldridge III in his Chattanooga mansion, she discovers something the victim had been secretly obsessed with a 1926 cold case. A young pregnant woman named Emily Caldwell was murdered in that same library nearly a century ago.
Augustus was close to solving Emily's murder. Someone made sure he never got the chance.
Now Kate is hunting a killer who's been hiding in plain sight—inside a household full of desperate family members, loyal staff with hidden grudges and secrets that powerful people will kill to protect. The son drowning in gambling debts. The cook facing forced retirement. The gardener who grows the very plants that produced the poison.
Everyone had motive. Everyone had opportunity. And someone is still watching.
