Alice Greer is relishing life, love, and her law practice in small town Coffee Creek, deep in the scenic Texas Hill Country. She's even setting a wedding date with Ben Kinsear.

Then local politics boil over, and suddenly Alice's life turns hot--maybe too hot to handle. Retired judge Edwin Mahan asks Alice to take on two unusual tasks: supervise an archeology dig on his land, and help publish his controversial history of Coffee County.

His book describes murders on the judge's property in 1847––involving dead Comanches, a dead horse, a deadly pistol, and two dead German immigrants. With no murderer caught, no trial was ever held.

But Judge Mahan is all about "an accurate fact record. " When Alice and her barrel-racing assistant Silla discover the latest murder victim, it's clear someone will stop at nothing to silence the dead and the living––including Alice.

The iconic Hill Country setting, with its quirky characters, hidden springs and buried history, sets the stage for this legal thriller and for Alice's desperate search for the murderer. Join Alice as she tangles with mystery, legal drama, and matters of the heart.
