Blurb (from back cover): "When her younger brother, Danny, commits suicide, Sayre Lynch breaks her vow never to return to her Louisiana hometown, and gets drawn back into her tyrannical father's web. He and her older brother-who control the town's sole industry, an iron foundry-are as corrupt as ever. Worse, they have hired a shrewd and disarming new lawyer, Beck Merchant...a man with his own agenda. When the police determine that Dannys suicide was actually a homicide, Sayre must battle her family-and her passionate feelings for Beck-as she confronts a powder keg of old hatreds, past crimes, and a surprising plan of revenge."
Opinion: When I reflect back on this book, I'm amazed at the number of pages and then wonder if it would have been able to be smaller without losing anything. My answer to that is no. Despite it's size, this book is one of the better romantic suspense novels that I've read. Great mixture of mystery and romance. And neither is compromised by the other.
