R S Hampton: Forever Gone, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A pulse-pounding suspense thriller about buried secrets, dangerous truths, and the price of justice.

Charleston real estate lawyer Lee Danforth has no interest in investigating the mismanagement of a local children's ranch-until she hears the horrifying allegations of abuse and the South Carolina solicitor's refusal to prosecute. Reluctantly drawn in, she soon realizes this case is far darker than financial fraud.

Lee has spent years burying the truth about her own seduction by Jack Marshall , the ranch's late founder. But with an anonymous tipster feeding her damning evidence, she discovers Jack's wife and son have embroiled the ranch in massive corruption and subjected the children to various trafficking schemes-and Jack's death was no accident. The police do nothing as local girls disappear and another group of children is scheduled to be sold.

Pushing the solicitor for action risks exposing Lee's past, threatening both her career and reputation. But staying silent means condemning more victims to an unthinkable fate. As the walls close in, she must decide: protect herself or risk everything to bring down a powerful family.

Because some truths don't just set you free-they can destroy you.
