About This Book
MORTAL TIES
Chantalene Morrell returns to rural Tetumka, Oklahoma, to answer the haunting questions of her past. Twelve years earlier, her father had been lynched for a crime he didn't commit, and shortly after, her mother disappeared without a trace. Now, Chantalene's determined to pursue the shadow figures that haunt her dreams--to unmask the four men who destroyed her family.
But it seems someone has already begun pursuing vengeance for her as, one by one, the men she suspects are brutally murdered. Unfortunately, Chantalene is the primary suspect.
Struggling to clear her name and make sense of what she witnessed that horrible, moonlit night in the wheat field, Chantalene discovers the truth has a blood price...one that a killer is ready to demand in full.
