Bleeding Through — Sandra Parshall

The deepest cut…

Dr. Rachel Goddard knows all too well how devastating secrets can be. So the caring veterinarian fears the worst when she accidentally discovers Shelley Beecher's body in a lonely Appalachian ravine. Most in Mason County resented the young law student's claim that convicted killer Vance Lankford didn't beat his best friend to death. Now Shelley's murder cuts the region's never-healed wounds even deeper. Rachel and deputy sheriff Tom Bridger must learn the truth before the situation explodes…

But when her fragile sister, Michelle, arrives to escape a stalker, Rachel's life is thrown into even more dangerous turmoil. Under siege from increasingly vicious attacks, she'll collide head-on with the past she barely survived, a shattering truth she fears to tell -- and someone who measures revenge in innocent blood.
