Description
A startling find has altered Waverly Jones' whole world and given her a reason to stay in her hometown of Port Milton—which means she needs work to pay some bills. So when she's asked to look into a sixty-year-old double homicide cold case, she takes the job, no matter how unlikely it is to be solved. Behind decades of rumours and theories—most of them scandalous and unsubstantiated—a portrait of an unconventional woman in a very conventional small town takes form, and the murder baffles even Waverly. The evidence and case files are gone, the leads from sixty years ago were dead ends, and while there is no shortage of suspects and motives, it seems impossible any of the witnesses are still alive—let alone the culprit. On top of that, the mystery disappearance of the detective she's been in love with since she was seventeen finally has some answers, but has led to even more questions. What actually befell him eleven years ago? What happened to the Crossroads Butcher? And will her sister's body ever be found?
