All the Dead Lie Down — Mary Willis Walker

SOME PEOPLE CAN FORGIVE AND FORGET. MOLLY CATES ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

When crime reporter Molly Cates's father died more than twenty-five years ago, the case was ruled a suicide, and Molly's efforts to prove otherwise led to nothing but anguish and the breakup of her family. But now new information has come her way and she reopens the investigation -- and a rush of old wounds -- with a vengeance. Soon the personal becomes dangerously political as Molly's search for the truth leads her from the stately halls of Texas government to the mean streets of Austin's down-and-out -- and ultimately to a moral dilemma she never could have anticipated.
