Some secrets are better left buried. And someone's willing to kill to ensure they stay that way.Lt. Kate Gazzara didn't get where she was by playing it safe. So when the limestone walls in Forrest's Cave give up their grim secret-a skeleton entombed for over fifty years-she assigns her brilliant loose cannon to the case. Detective Jack North's methods may be unconventional, but his closure rate is unmatched. Now, she just has to hope his talent for solving impossible cases outweighs his talent for trouble. When Detective North teams up with Dr. Amelia Croft, their investigation reveals a chilling truth: Lookout Mountain's caves are more than just a tourist attraction. They're a carefully chosen tomb for countless victims, guarded by someone who won't hesitate to kill again to keep their deadly secret. As North and Croft race to unravel generations of corruption, their enemies are closing in-determined to add two more bodies to the cave's limestone tombs. As more remains surface and the body count rises, North and Croft navigate a labyrinth of corruption and murder that spans generations. The remains tell a story of systematic evil, guarded by those who rule Chattanooga from corner offices and country clubs. With time running out and their own lives at risk, they must expose a conspiracy before they become its next victims. A gripping police procedural featuring Lt. Kate Gazzara's bad boy detective and an unlikely academic partner who must learn to trust each other - or die. Perfect for fans of Cross, Davenport and Bosch.
