sTORY BLURB

A blackout, a missing teen, a gruesome find. What will day two hold for Hadleigh’s new coroner?

He wanted a quiet, small-town career. He found poison, corruption and a family determined to protect its dark past.

Dr. Martin Hilleman expected a slower pace when he became Hadleigh’s new coroner. Instead, his first day brought a blackout, a missing teenager and the suspicious death of wealthy car dealer Dean “The Car” Mann.

Now, toxicology reveals antifreeze in Dean’s system, and suspicion falls on his new wife, Jenny—now twice widowed by “suspicious heart attacks.”

Working with Detective Sergeant Nell James, Martin uncovers fraud, bitter betrayals and a tangled web of deception in which everyone has something to hide.

But Dean’s death is only the beginning.

As the investigation closes in, old secrets resurface, loyalties fracture, and a new act of treachery proves just how far someone will go when driven by betrayal.

In Hadleigh, some families inherit money. Others inherit secrets.
