About this listen
Award-winning author Wanda Morris returns with a powerful, haunting thriller following a lawyer who after the mysterious disappearance of a local landowner and the death of his sister just months before, uncovers a conspiracy that dates back to Reconstruction and persists in half the United States today.
Deena Wood’s life has fallen apart in the aftermath of losing her beloved mother, her marriage, and her prestigious job at an Atlanta law firm. She needs what the Geechee people of coastal Georgia call a “dayclean,” a fresh start.
She returns to her childhood home in Brunswick, Georgia, to heal. But her return is anything but the respite she thought it might be. To make peace with all her loss, she often drives through the city. One day, she unwittingly finds herself on the oceanfront property of a loner widower who is fighting to keep land that has been in his family since the end of the Civil War. He threatens her and warns her to never return. But shortly after, he disappears, and his very expensive property is quickly put up for sale. Curious about what has happened to the man, Deena digs into his disappearance and finds a family legacy at risk. What starts out as a bit of curious snooping, turns into a deadly game of illegal land grabs and property redevelopment in poor and rural communities with dark and powerful forces at work.
Without realizing it, Deena finds herself caught up in a nightmarish scheme that threatens her community and her family. She’ll need help and finds it in a close but unlikely source because she knows she must do whatever it takes to stop the sinister forces at play before she becomes their next target.

Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he’d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there’s nobody left in Fred’s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he’s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head—as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up.

Story
It is spring 1919, and John Sawtelle’s imagination has gotten him into trouble … again. Now John and his newlywed wife, Mary, along with their two best friends and their three dogs, are setting off for Wisconsin’s northwoods, where they hope to make a fresh start—and, with a little luck, discover what it takes to live a life of meaning, purpose and adventure. But the place they are headed for is far stranger and more perilous than they realize, and it will take all their ingenuity, along with a few new friends—human, animal, and otherworldly—to realize their dreams.

Writing in the tradition of Dennis Lehane and Greg Iles, Attica Locke, a powerful new voice in American fiction, delivers a brilliant debut thriller that readers will not soon forget. Jay Porter is hardly the lawyer he set out to be. His most promising client is a low-rent call girl and he runs his fledgling law practice out of a dingy strip mall. But he's long since made peace with not living the American Dream and carefully tucked away his darkest sins: the guns, the FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.

informative and entertaining
They were wonderful narrators.
Story was interesting, lots of 'who done it' situations. Kept the book interesting. Was good to learn about this topic that could happen to any of us, and teach how to protect ourselves and others from thieves.
Thought I was getting a Christian book, but it's not. that was my mistake. Didn't appreciate the swearing.
but overall, the time spent was well worth the listen.

the characters
I usually only like supernatural or thriller but this did have that edge on with the ancestors which I really enjoyed... Then sit back and try to figure out who is behind all this. And I'm pretty good at figuring it out but I didn't... I thought maybe Dena's boyfriend had something to do with it..
I definitely enjoyed this

Great suspense
Loved the suspense! Storyline was really good and held my attention. Being from the south I thought the characters other than Ruth sounded like they were from up state New York/northern. The southern accent was not there for me, however I will be listening for more books read by this narrator and written by the author!

Social Awareness
The power of evil, greedy human beings never ceases to amaze me. The author brings an aspect of this inhumanity home in a remarkable, albeit somewhat unexpected (paranormal) way.
Point well made. Social awareness is also powerful. I had no idea….

Riveting Read
This work is a 10/10, highly recommend!!! I despise spoilers so I only listed to a snippet of the sample before buying it. I enjoyed every minute of this. I’ve always been fascinated with Gullah Geechee culture and its direct ties to Africa. Having this interwoven into the story was delightful. The way it was read was immaculate. I wish all audiobooks were read with this much personality and enthusiasm. Bravo to the actors.
I also had zero knowledge about heirs property laws. It’s an awful tool to prey on people. The author’s hope in the afterward is most certainly realized me. I will do more research into this and share with others. Thank you Ms. Morris.
