Overview

"This debut effort is further proof that there are undiscovered novelists out there who can more than keep up with the big names. I expect we'll be hearing more of Gae-Lynn Woods in the future." -- Russell Blake, international bestselling author of The Geronimo Breach, Fatal Exchange, and the Zero Sum trilogy


"...I can't wait to read the next book in what I assume from the quality of the first book could be quite a series. Having been recommended to me I now recommend it to you." -- James Turner, England


"...the good guys are not perfect. They experience moral and ethical dilemmas, but you as the reader know that they are still doing the right thing. Or are they? I recall one of my favorite lines in the book, where one of the good guys questions whether they did enough to try to save the life of a bad guy. And another good guy responds, "Who cares. He needed killin'." That is classic Texas!" -- Burl Hays, Japan


A BIZARRE MURDER

Angie Scarborough killed her husband after she discovered his dirty little secret. Still raw from her own unsolved rape six years ago, Detective Cass Elliot is stunned when confronted with graphic photographs scattered across the Scarborough kitchen floor.

A COVERT WEB OF LIES AND EXPLOITATION

Cass and her partner Mitch Stone delve into a cunning world of blackmail and violence – and find a cult concealed for nearly a century beneath the genteel, small town façade of Arcadia in East Texas. Their investigation triggers a brutal response from powerful men who will protect their identities at any cost. They unleash a ruthless killer whose actions create a media frenzy and destroy the fabric of trust within the police department.

A PERVASIVE EVIL

Cass and Mitch circle closer to the cult’s few members, following a slim lead into a night lit by fire. A night that begins with a blood ritual and ends with Cass holding a man's life - or death - in her hands and struggling to walk the fine line between vengeance and justice.

Novel length - 129,000 words, approximately 430 ebook pages, 369 paperback pages.
