Publisher's summary

A female rookie cop in Mobile, Alabama, finds an African-American teenager’s bones and a ring in the bottom of an abandoned well. Her training officer confiscates the ring and blames the rookie. Recruit Carly Redmund is in big trouble: She could lose her job if Field Training Officer Grey doesn't turn in the ring, or worse, be charged with withholding evidence. What she doesn't know is a white supremacist group is conspiring with Officer Grey's brother and mayoral candidate to manipulate the facts for political reasons.

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 closure to the victim’s grieving mother.

Enjoyable!

The is the first book I have read by this author. Audible, give us more! I am a fan of mystery stories and detective fiction and this one is really outstanding.
Hesse develops well-rounded characters; even the villains have loyalties and relationships, however twisted. It is especially interesting to get involved in a story like this in which the protagonist is a person with no power but lots of guts and curiosity. How many women like this protagonist have had to pursue a career to which they feel called while every day pushing against the blocks thrown up by powerful people who want them to fail!
The cultural and geographical backgrounds are fully developed and accurate. Looking forward to more from Lynn Hesse.

Excellent Police Story - For Adults-Tough Subject

.Lynn Hesse has created a very believable story cut from our times. This book is for adults. One of the difficulties authors have is correctly reflecting our current culture, thought patterns and speech without accepting those realities as something good. Lynn weaves a delicate balance but the story is often raw. The main character has her own struggles with very real situations that are often faced by women in our culture. The story is filled with flawed people with so many believable scenes coming from their lives that reflect what is happening in our culture today. A murder of a young black man, purely because he is both black and living in a community where racism in all its worst forms are still tolerated and in some cases nurtured.

The book poses such questions as "Is there an unforgivable sin". The victim's mother wrestles with that question. Lynn does a masterful job of presenting the complex relationships, and the many erroneous ideas about what love really is. Without diving into the deep end of our own spiritual nature, she shows characters who have failed to understand the real struggles they are faced with. It is a fascinating police story, filled with flawed characters, trying to find :justice without slipping into vengeance.

Lynn's policing background echoes through the work. It takes a special person and a special author to attempt to share that reality with the rest of us.
