Book Description
It's been two decades since Charlotte set foot in Montgomery, Alabama. But when a family tragedy sends her back to her childhood home, it's almost like she never left at all. While reconnecting with her old friend Mary Kate, she quickly finds her place among her tight-knit group of pals-including five of Montgomery's most popular and successful men. But underneath their traditional Southern facade, these men are hiding a secret-one that could ostracize them from their local community, or something even worse. Nobody suspects anything except Mary Kate, Charlotte, and a couple of their mutual friends...but when Jeb, one of the men, is found brutally murdered, the police begin an investigation that could bring deeply hidden truths to the surface once and for all. As the pieces of this tragedy begin to come together, a moral dilemma emerges, and horrific abuses at the hands of the elite are exposed. In this dark fictional tale, you'll be left wondering who the true victim is. In a society of such strict rules and traditional values, is there ever such a thing as justifiable homicide?
