To uncover the truth, she'll have to break the code of the hills
...
In the Missouri Ozarks, some things aren't talked about ... even
abuse. But prosecutor Elsie Arnold is determined to change
that.
When she is assigned to prosecute a high-profile incest case in
which a father is accused of abusing his three young daughters,
Elsie is ready to become the Ozarks' avenging angel.
But as Elsie sinks her teeth into the case, everything begins to
turn sour. The star witness goes missing; the girls refuse to talk
about their father, who terrorizes the courtroom from the moment he
enters; and Elsie begins to suspect that their tough-as-nails
mother has ulterior motives. To make matters worse, Elsie receives
gruesome threats from local extremists, warning her to mind her own
business.
While Elsie swears not to let a sex offender walk, she realizes
the odds--and maybe the town--are against her, and her life begins
to crumble. But amidst all of the conflict, the safety of three
young girls hangs in the balance ...
A powerful debut, with the haunting atmosphere of Winter's Bone
and the page-turning suspense of Alafair Burke's thrillers.
