Publisher's Synopsis
Carly Redmund, a Mobile, Alabama, police recruit is about to mess up her first major crime scene. Her training officer, J.C. Grey, orders her to give up the evidence found in the bottom of a well, a high school class ring. She does. Grey tucks the ring in his pocket. What happened to the bag-it-and-tag-it evidence procedure? Carly is left guarding the crime scene tape as a news van pulls in and the crew sets up. She overhears the female reporter tell the cameraman that the bones in the well might be Terence, a missing African American kid from the '70s, and that heads need to roll at PD, the racist SOBs.
Why hasn't Carly read about this case? As she remembers the initials TWW inscribed on the inside of the ring, Grey walks back and tells the rookie to keep her mouth shut, and he'll handle everything, including the report. That doesn't make any sense. Rookies handle the grunt work. Grey is hiding more than the ring. If he doesn't put the ring in the property room, Carly will be blamed. She could lose her job. Worse, she could be charged with withholding evidence. Carly is in big trouble.
What Carly doesn't know is that a white supremacist group is involved -- and also mayoral candidate Derrick Grey, Officer Grey's brother. While dealing with her own personal demons, Carly must learn to survive in a hostile environment, develop friends fast in a new city, and solve a cold-case murder to bring justice to a grieving mother.
