The Caverns — Elaine Grant

THE CAVERNS Seventeen years after being convicted of murder, Cade Youngblood returns to his hometown to bury his beloved great uncle. Still the pariah of Cumberland Cove, Tennessee, he faces resentment, fear, and pure hatred from some who believe he is guilty. Cade has more reason than ever to clear his name, but somebody is willing to kill to protect a shocking secret. When his ex-fiancée, Scottie Youngblood, now a Cumberland Cove police officer, responds to vandalism to Cade's property, they begin to rekindle their old relationship and attempt to unravel the tangled lies from the past. Scottie joins forces with Cade to solve the mystery of the decades' old murder. In the process they discover the deception that tore them apart when they were young. Only one person offers a clue to the past, but somebody is willing to kill to keep that truth buried. And more than one citizen of Cumberland Cove would like to see Cade gone--forever. How far into the darkness would you go to find the truth?
