Publisher's summary

A private eye in a one-eyed place?

Ford Merrick is a softhearted detective in a sleepy southern town, Opelika, Alabama—a “one-eyed, blinking sort of place.” A provoking visit from the beautiful Rachel Gunner complicates his work and his life. This stunning woman asks Ford to tail her uncle and discover what he is up to.

Taking the case, Ford quickly finds himself swamped in mysteries: Who is Rachel's uncle, and what is his secret business? Then there’s the mystery of an earlier death at Noble Hall, where Rachel and her uncle now live. But the greatest mystery may be Rachel Gunner herself.

Mired, Ford struggles to find his way, unearths tragedies old and new, and exposes his heart to a hard test.

A nice soft boiled mystery.

This is a well written and read easy going, laid back Southern mystery. No ridiculous surprises, we’ll, maybe one.

What a gem!

First time in a long time I truly didn’t want the story to end.. no matter how much I wanted the mystery revealed! Narrator was top notch, both engaging in delivery and character development. I hope to see more of Kelly Dean Jolley paired with Brad Holbrook.
