Until she meets a bullet.

After Detective Tammy Sharp is injured on the job, she takes a leave of absence from the Atlanta PD.

The passing of her only uncle leads her home to Pocahontas, Arkansas. She needs time to mourn and find peace. Instead, she finds her ex, Jace Eubanks.

And a killer on the loose.

With murders old and new intertwining, Tammy's life is filled with even more mysteries. Why does she keep getting messages about lost gold? Who was the man who died all those years ago? And who, for that matter, was Tammy's uncle?

To solve these puzzles, Tammy faces a choice: team up with her ex or let justice slip away. As the clock ticks down to a sinister ultimatum, will Tammy outsmart the sociopath or fall prey to a deadly game of cat and mouse?
