About the Book
When the dive team is called in to recover a body from a submerged car, they aren't prepared to find an encrypted laptop--or an unsettling connection between investigator Adam Campbell and the dead accountant.
Adam turns to his friend Dr. Sabrina Fleming--a professor at the local university with unparalleled computer security and forensics skills--to recover the files from the laptop. But the deeper they dig, the deadlier the investigation becomes. When evidence uncovers a human trafficking ring and implicates members of Adam's own family, he and Sabrina will have to risk everything to solve the case.
The truth could set hundreds free--but someone is willing to do whatever it takes to silence anyone who threatens to reveal their secrets. Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn invites readers back to Carrington, North Carolina, where everything is not as it seems and sinister elements lurk behind the idyllic façade.

Book Beginning
The shrill ping of his cell phone earned white-collar crimes investigator Adam Campbell a vicious glare from his aunt Margaret. His cousins all dropped their gazes to their plates, several of them failing to suppress snickers, as Adam stood. He glanced around the table at the assembled family members before focusing on the matriarch of the family. "Excuse me, Grandmother. Everyone. I'm on call."
Grandmother sniffed. "Very well."
Friday 56
Wednesday morning was not off to a fabulous start.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! I've found a new 'must-buy' author in Blackburn. I'm loving these books. Thanks for stopping by, Sassy! :)
DeleteIt is such a great beginning! I like those type of scenes around big table with pressure rising and heated arguments. The tradition to sit down with a family, that are forced a bit, but still give a feeling of belonging))
ReplyDeleteHere is my post

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Laurel-Rain! :)
DeleteI think I need more. The 56 was too ominous, and the beginning had me wondering why the family was so stuffy... Hope you enjoy it. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great. It's intense and suspenseful, but also has many funny moments that lighten the mood. Thanks for coming by, Freda! :)
DeleteThis sounds like an interesting and exciting story. This week I am featuring The Curse of the Silver Pharaoh by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those books that's hard to put down. Thanks for stopping by, Kathy! :)
DeleteThat beginning is classic family dynamics. I want to find out where he has to go. I remember liking the sound of last week's and this one sounds really good, too. I may have to wait until September to start them, though.
ReplyDeleteI probably should've waited until September so I could've read them all together, but my mom kept raving about the first book and so I had to see what all the fuss was about, lol. Thanks for the visit, Roberta! :)
DeleteGlad you're enjoying the series. At least September isn't too far off!
ReplyDeleteThat's true. It's not too far away. Thanks for coming by, Nicki! :)
DeleteOoh, this could be cool. Thanks for sharing!
