Say it Back (CADE'S FORK SAGA)

By Andrew Harris

One paragraph:
Say It Back is a Southern crime novel about June Vance, a hospice nurse whose dying patients keep gripping her wrist and confessing to killing Ruby Calloway, a pregnant sixteen-year-old the county wrote off as an accidental drowning in 1979. The confessions are identical - nine words, same order - and they're scheduled: someone is visiting each patient days before they die. June's investigation uncovers a town that took hush money when its mill collapsed, a murder ordered by the mill's owner, and a pact of twenty-two people who swore to all confess so no single one could ever be convicted. The architect of those nine words was June's own mother - and the house June lives in was bought with the silence. It ends not with a trial (the pact worked too well for that) but with a recorded deathbed testimony, a granite marker at the pond, and the truth in the county's final newspaper.
