All hands on-deck, a major curveball is thrown their way that takes the investigation well beyond their beloved Oakmont community. And legendary Detective Ace Hutchinson-who was the original lead investigator on the case-becomes a major player. Only thing is...nobody is sure whose side he is on. Standing in the way of closing this decades-old cold case are a multitude of suspects, persons of interest, and unexplained reasons complicating an already-perplexing investigation. Can Carla, Bernie, and Beth navigate an illusive case's twists and turns in order to unravel an unexpected mystery for the ages? Or will they fail on their final quest to deliver justice..."--

In the summer of 1997, Penny Miracle, a beautiful, mature teenager, disappeared without a trace. On that day, up-and-coming rookie police officer, Carla McBride, was one of the first officers to arrive on the scene. Bernie Kowalski, who had just achieved detective status, was assigned as the lead investigator. After numerous interviews, tips, and dead-end leads, the case fell cold and laid dormant for fifteen years-until the police force's forensic psychologist and Penny's childhood best friend, Beth Pendergast, re-opened the case. Now, Carla, Bernie, and Beth are thrust into action, on the hunt to solve a cold case that's haunted each of them since that fateful day. Together, can they seek truth and redemption as a team...or will their lives remain forever changed?

Oakmont is a small peaceful town in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky-until it's brought to its knees by a heinous crime with a cornucopia of possible suspects. When the lead detective on the case is unexpectedly suspended, Police Chief Brock Evans looks to assign another detective before the case turns cold. Detective Carla McBride-a brash Irish detective full of red-headed tempers and passions-is the only logical choice. But with the investigation being continuously riddled with bizarre twists and turns, she can't help but wonder whether she has what it takes to solve this exceedingly difficult case. Through a chance meeting and a blue golf ball marker embossed with a gold Fedora found at the scene of the crime, Walt Blevins, publisher of The Daily Reporter, explodes on the scene. As he and Carla develop a relationship built on shaky ground, the case soon becomes an out-of-control scramble to deliver justice. Together, can Carla and Walt untangle the never-ending web of indiscretion, deceit, and loyalty on their quest for justice? Or will their abilities and patience be tested until the very end...
