[Tai Randolph Mysteries 04] • Deeper Than the Grave

It s taken almost a year, but Tai Randolph finally has her new life together. She s running a semi-successful Atlanta gun shop catering to Civil War re-enactors. Her relationship with the sexy if somewhat security-obsessed Trey Seaver is satisfyingly comfortable. Most importantly, there s not a single corpse on her horizon, and her previously haphazard existence is finally stable, secure . . . and utterly unsurprising. Until a tornado scatters the skeletal remains of a Confederate hero and Tai is asked to assist with the recovery effort. It s a job her late Uncle Dexter would have relished, as does Tai, especially when she discovers a jumble of bones in the Kennesaw Mountain underbrush. The problem? The skeleton doesn t belong to the missing soldier. Tai s discovery reveals a more recent murder, with her deceased uncle leading the suspect list. As Tai struggles to clear Dexter s name and save the shop he left her she digs up more than old bones. Deadly secrets also lie buried in the red Georgia clay. Tai realizes there s a murderer on the loose, a clever killer who has tried to conceal the crimes of the present in the stories of the past. As she risks her own life to unravel two mysteries one from a previous century, one literally at her doorstep Tai rediscovers her dangerous taste for murder and mayhem. Will she survive yet another foray into amateur sleuthing? Will Trey? Or will the Civil War add two modern-day casualties to its death toll?"
