博客來After being wrongly accused of planting evidence, homicide detective Zane Grayson retires from the Santa Barbara, California police department and returns to his small hometown of Mathoni, Utah to care for his ailing mother.
Zane, who has given up his religious beliefs, has reservations about not only returning to the family dairy farm, but also about being accepted in the close-knit, Mormon community after his thirty-year absence. He finds the tourist industry in the town has grown over the years, creating a rift among the town folk.
Shortly after his return, he runs into Tiffany Massey, who was his high school girlfriend. When Tiffany’s tech millionaire husband, who wanted to build a guest house to cater to the tourists, is brutally murdered, the Sheriff names Zane and Tiffany as his primary suspects, stating they killed Will so they could get back together and arrests Tiffany while building the case against Zane.
Zane sets out to prove both he and Tiffany are innocent while questioning his feelings for her. He discovers that investigating without a badge is more difficult than expected and uncovers secrets that things in the town aren’t what they appear, and the killer is closer than he ever imagined, someone whose crimes will rock the town to the core.
