A dangerous killer is hunting for more than deer in this southern forest...

New police chief Tim Birch is too late on the scene to save his youngest officer from fentanyl exposure at a routine traffic stop, and the grief cuts deep into his department. Someone is trafficking dangerous pills in Crossroads, Arkansas.

Jana Nance has returned home to steer the town's tourism and be close to her dying grandmother. But when she and her committee visit lakefront property designated to become a park, they discover the body of her godson, Eli Carson, fatally shot in a deer stand. Jana is convinced it's murder and not suicide.

She might be on to something. Fentanyl pills were found with Eli's body, but was he a victim or the dealer? Unfortunately, not everyone on Tim's team wants him to uncover that answer.

It's Jana's job to bring change to Crossroads, and she's determined to succeed—even though her plans threaten a lucrative illegal activity. Unless Eli's killer is caught, Jana's death watch may be her own.
