    About this ebook

    Deputy Maryanne Levine thought little Lourie County would be the place to hone her skills and get a fresh start. But the backwater berg is holding onto secrets that could cost her as much as she’s willing to give. Maybe more.

    Lourie County isn’t the only one with secrets. Maryanne has one of her own, buried deep until her past follows her to the quaint county - just about the time all hell breaks loose.

    With all of its tabletop gossip and close-knit ties, this little community is harboring evil.

    Someone is taking young girls. And, in the aftermath of these unforgivable crimes, someone is taking the mothers.
