Where is Kent Heyward?
The twenty-three-year-old heiress from one of Charleston’s oldest
families vanished a month ago. When her father hires private
investigator Liz Talbot, Liz suspects the most difficult part of her job
will be convincing the patriarch his daughter tired of his overbearing
nature and left town. That’s what the Charleston Police Department
believes.
But behind the garden walls South of Broad, family secrets pop up like weeds in the azaleas. The neighbors recollect violent arguments between Rivers and her parents. Eccentric twin uncles and a gaggle of cousins covet the family fortune. And the lingering spirit of a Civil-War-era debutante may know something if Colleen, Liz’s dead best friend, can get her to talk.
Liz juggles her case, the partner she’s in love with, and the family she adores. But the closer she gets to what has become of Rivers, the closer Liz dances to her own grave.
