In Atlanta, gun shop owner Tai Randolph’s best customers are Civil
War reenactors.
To ensure her safety after some recent incidents, her boyfriend, former
SWAT cop and current security consultant, Trey Seaver has hooked up all sorts
of protective measures.
A tornado rips though a historical cemetery on
Kennesaw Mountain scattering the remains of a Confederate soldier. Helping with the recovery, Tia finds bones
including a skull nearby. However, these
do not date back to the 1864 Civil War battle on Kennesaw Mountain, but instead
belong to recently murdered Lucius Dufrene. As the police investigate, Tai's late Uncle Dexter, who bequeathed the shop to his niece, is a
prime suspect. Refusing to allow the reputation
of her uncle to be destroyed especially with Dexter unable defend himself; Tia
rushes in with her own inquiry while deliberate Trey has her back.
The fourth Tai Randolph finder mystery (see Blood,
Ash, and Bone; The Dangerous Edge of Things and Darker than Any
Shadow) strengthens an excellent modern day murder whodunit with Civil War history
and pseudo-history. Once again the immovable Tai dives head
first into danger while her irresistible force has her “sidekick”
trying to perform the impossible keeping her safe.
