The warning bells ring. No train comes. But someone is already dead.
When a transportation official is found beside Rowan's Trace Crossing, Detective Bonnie Hale discovers a chilling message-and evidence that the scene was carefully staged. A missing work bag, altered inspection records, and seven circled crossings lead Bonnie and her team into a tangled network of contractors, concealed failures, and conflicting alibis.
Laurel Crane was asking questions someone desperately wanted silenced. Now Bonnie must follow the evidence through a maze of lies before the truth disappears with it.
