This is an updated cover edition of [9781973774198](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35115330-buried-in-the-bayou). Our lifestyle, son, doesn’t have room for happily ever after. I know this. My dad drilled it into my head so many times, I used to chant it in my sleep. Then came Jo. She made it impossible to remember the danger of teaching an outsider our secrets. After helping her find peace, I left to keep her safe. Jada and I hit the road to continue our family duty of slaying evil spirits. With another closed case behind us, we head to the Louisiana Bayou to solve a murder and find a missing hunter. But as we dig through the town’s history, we begin to discover this is not a simple haunting. A darker evil is feeding the spirits. As the danger begins to mount, Jo appears in my life again. As much as I want to be with Jo, I must do everything I can to keep her safe. I have to push her away. Before it’s too late.

Cooper and Jada warned me the life of a hunter wasn’t for everyone. There’s a reason only a handful of people, out of the millions across the planet, survive our calling. I believed I would be the exception to the rule. A natural in the art of the hunt. Blinded by my own arrogance, I was hellbent on proving them wrong. At first it was easy. The adrenaline pumping through my veins. The rush of the mystery. It kept me going, constantly moving toward the next case. Until... a wrong move nearly got Cooper killed. Now, we’re alone in the middle of nowhere as unspeakable darkness closes in. I thought I was ready. As it stands, all I want is out. Can I dig deep and channel the strength required to keep us both alive? Or will there be a fatal cost for my mistake? The Award Winning Chindi Series continues with Secrets in the Plains, a gripping page-turner that will leave readers gasping!
