His attempts to find out why the young woman was killed lead him deep into the exclusive world of Bluegrass bluebloods, where he becomes increasingly at risk as he gets closer to uncovering a shameful secret.

Neither race fans nor devotees of suspense will be disappointed." ~ Dennis Dodge for Booklist
