The first in the series featuring an Ozarks sheriff's detective investigating moonshine, murder, and the ghosts of her own past . . .

Katrina Williams left the army ten years ago, disillusioned and damaged. Now a sheriff's detective at home in the Missouri Ozarks, Williams is living her life one case at a time—between mandated therapy sessions—until she learns that she's a suspect in a military investigation with ties to her painful past.

Then the corpse of a local girl is found by a bootlegger, whose information leads Williams into a tangled web of teenagers, moonshiners, motorcycle clubs, and a fellow veteran battling illness and his own personal demons. Unraveling each thread will take time that Katrina might not have—as the army investigator turns his searchlight on the devastating incident that ended her military career. Now Katrina will need to dig deep for the truth—before she's buried herself.
