This work of romantic suspense is the middle volume of the Truth trilogy. Lorna Stiles returns to her hometown--rural Callen, Pennsylvania--to sell off what remains of the family farm. In the process, she inadvertently finds a partial answer to a long-unsolved crime. Twenty-one years ago, Lorna's childhood friend, Melinda Eagan, went missing, and most people blamed her older brother Jason; when he disappeared as well, everyone assumed he had run away. But now Jason's bones have been found on the old Stiles farm. While the police consider the case closed, Lorna wants to know the whole story of what happened to Jason and Melinda; unfortunately, her search for answers could prove deadly for her as well.

J. Dawson to uncover old secrets that someone will do anything to hide. Original.
