Trust is a thing of the past. All that matters is the truth.
Forrest Cooper
Cooper Springs' resident lavender farmer has a short list of people he trusts. His sister. Xavier Stone. Magnus and Rufus Ferguson. A newcomer to town is not making his list. Ever. Especially not one who is first on the scene of a murder.
Nero Vik
Recently laid off and once again single, the ex-investigative reporter is digging into the sordid history of Cooper Springs. He's not in town to make friends, he's there to solve an old mystery and maybe bring closure to those who need it. But when he discovers a local man murdered, all eyes are on him.
Once Nero starts investigating, he has questions, most of them for Forrest Cooper.
Forrest is not giving the new guy an inch, much less discussing his sordid family history with him. His past, his sister's past, is not up for debate on some nickel-and-dime podcast hosted by a hack writer.
Nero was the last person to see Donny alive. He was the one who said,
maybe you shouldn't
. But Donny was someone who never backed down. He got into that van.
One man has dedicated himself to putting his past where it belongs-behind him.
The other is determined to expose the truth-no matter how painful it is.
The perfect storm brings them together. Will they make it through to the other side?
