Description
After reckless behavior costs NYPD detective Leigh O’Donnell her job and her marriage, she returns with her four-year-old daughter to her beautiful hometown of Copper Falls, Ohio. Leigh had stayed away for more than a decade—even though her brother and a trio of loving uncles still call it home—because, while the town may seem idyllic, something rotten lies at its core. Three men in town have drowned in what Leigh suspects to be a triple homicide. She hopes that by finding out who killed them, she just might get her life back on course.
Headstrong and intuitive, Leigh isn’t afraid to face a killer, but she has to do more than that to discover the truth about what happened to those men. She must unravel a web of secrets going back generations, and, in doing so, plumb the darkness within herself.

What starts out with big city drama, quickly turns into a detective’s small-town home coming. That alone could make for a good story, but then you add in a cast of characters who live in an idyllic mid-western town, and suddenly, the entire town comes alive and starts to unravel. The main character Leigh has taken an assignment to work on a triple homicide and uncovers a lot the small-town would like to keep hidden.
