Sometimes, coming home is beautiful. Other times, it's fatal. Private investigator Olive Sterling never wanted to return to Oasis, Texas. But when an old flame asks her to investigate a beloved local teacher who claims to have terminal cancer, she reluctantly agrees to help. While the community rallies around Rebecca Roberts with prayers and financial support, something about her story doesn't add up. As Olive digs deeper, disturbing patterns emerge. Then there’s the mysterious man on a motorcycle who’s watching her every move. For Olive, whose own father was a master of deception, this case hits dangerously close to home. When threatening messages start arriving, Olive realizes this investigation is stirring up secrets someone would kill to keep buried.
