Publisher's Summary

Three young women are found floating in a lake.

The suspect is one of the richest and most powerful men in Tennessee.

In the fourth installment of the best-selling Joe Dillard series, Dillard has become the district attorney in Northeast Tennessee. He becomes heavily involved in the investigation with Sheriff Leon Bates and soon realizes that he is up against an enemy that he has never before encountered—someone so rich and so powerful that the course of justice could be altered by money and political influence. But when bodies start showing up in his driveway and his family is threatened with termination, Dillard must ask himself a previously unthinkable question. His life, and the lives of his family, depend on the answer.

What the critics say

"Pratt's richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a facade of vulnerability." (Publisher's Weekly)

Good story, perfect vacation read

This is the third or fourth book in this series I've read/listened to. You know exactly what you're getting with this series - a solid, straightforward, prosecutorial tale set in down-home and folksy Tennessee. The characters fulfil all of their tropes perfectly - strong cancer survivor and supportive wife, strong silent ex-miltary types, fat sleazy capitalist drug dealer, hooker with a heart of gold, and so on. This isn't really a complaint as it is an honest warning - don't expect a lot of plot twists or little buried gems at the start which develop into deep significance later on. It's just a simple, straightforward, linear development. Overall, quite enjoyable though if that's what you like.

The narrator does a great job, voice and reading is wery easy to listen to and executed nicely.

I'd pair this book with an airplane, airport bar, or lounge chair by the pool at an all inclusive resort. Or, more realistically, one of those long walk all of those forced to stay at home during the pandemic have been forced to start taking for some semblance of exercise. In any case, a solid series.
