About this ebook
In the sultry South Carolina Lowcountry, a young widow's investigation into a hit-and-run uncovers dark secrets that someone will kill to keep buried...
Amateur sleuth Bay Tanner finds her love life heating up with Red, the local sheriff's sergeant and her late husband's brother. But when her housekeeper's son, Roberto, hints that a recent hit-and-run may have been more than an accident, Bay is drawn into a dangerous mystery. The victim, a crusader for the rights of illegal immigrants, seems to have been silenced—but she wasn't the intended target.
As Bay delves deeper, Roberto disappears, and Red and his deputies are stretched thin by a string of robberies terrorizing local businesses. When Bay's friend Lavinia is caught up in one of the holdups, Bay must unravel the secret Lavinia is reluctant to share. With strange phone calls and an ancient black man with an intricately carved walking stick holding clues, Bay realizes someone desperately wants her off the case.
In this captivating Southern mystery, Bay will risk everything to protect her loved ones and bring a killer to justice, uncovering the simmering prejudices surrounding the area's growing immigrant population. Suspenseful and intriguing, Mercy Oak is a gripping tale of tempers running hot in a small Southern town.
