Publisher's Summary

When Lily stumbles upon the well-built corpse of a local body builder - his neck broken by a barbell - the town's underlying racial tension begins to boil over. The white victim was somehow connected to two unsolved murders of black residents of Shakespeare - and a dogged policeman is determined to stop the killing. But it is Lily herself who may have to decide whether to stay and fight for justice, or run away one more time.

What the critics say

"Lily Bard is a complex woman who embodies many of the contradictions of the modern South - its dark side as well as its charm - and this suspenseful, deftly written novel will send new fans scrambling to read its predecessor." (Amazon.com review)

Pedantic narration.

This is a great story with a culturally relevant plot, good character development, and a pretty good audio performance; however, the narrator just doesn’t match my perception of Lily, the main character. Maybe because I read the first book and am listening to the 2nd. Lily just seems wishy-washy, instead of curt, abrupt, etc.
