Something is exciting and chilling about a pursuit to identify the remains of a murdered victim and the victim's murderer-especially when the crime was committed 49 years ago in a small Southern town. The remains were found on Great Aunt Hannah's property after she died, and Vett Brayborn, Great Aunt Hannah's most trusted niece and executor of her estate, works as an amateur investigator to solve the murder mystery. The mystery must be solved before the sale of Great Aunt Hannah's properties occurs because an unsolved murder has a way of devaluing properties. Needless to say, the heirs are expecting a lucrative inheritance. But there's one catch to solving the mystery: No one is missing. The pursuit provides more challenges than answers. First, vicious gossip begins circulating accusing Great Aunt Hannah (school teacher, community activist, and philanthropist) of the murder, tainting the beliefs of some of Great Aunt Hannah's supporters. Second, Vett cannot locate Great Aunt Hannah's longtime boyfriend, who may have information to help her. Third, she uncovers a betrayal committed by Great Aunt Hannah on a family member that breaks her spirit; this betrayal is a secret Great Aunt Hannah never wanted known. And fourth, Vett falls in love with Lt. Ellison, the sheriff investigator assigned to the case. Vett struggles with her desire to keep from him the discoveries and headways she makes. She fears he will order her to stop her investigation if she tells him. If the murder does not get solved, Great Aunt Hannah's memory and character will be forever tarnished, the human remains will not be identified, and the murderer will continue to escape justice. Will Vett triumph in her pursuit? Push the buy button to find the answer.
