Shakespeare, Arkansas, was nothing but a name on a map when she moved here. But Lily has kept her head down in Shakespeare for four years: cleaned houses, blocked unwelcome memories, and honed her body into a weapon with goju karate. It's as long as she's lasted anywhere since the nightmare that changed her life, and she's willing to dust around the skeletons in her neighbors' closets—provided they mind their business about her past, too. But when a dead body is dumped practically in her front yard, she can't look away and leave it to innocents to find. And as the investigation creeps closer to Lily, her clients, and the secrets they all keep, she knows her hard-fought peace is in danger. She's living in close quarters with a murderer. The police are sniffing around her history. And once again, all eyes are on Lily Bard. She could leave town, and give up on the home she's begun to make. Or she could stay, and root out the killer herself…
