When you’ve got nothing to lose, your choices are easy.
North Carolina-based P.I. Casey Jones is smart, fearless, irreverent, and determined. She’s also independent to a fault — all of which makes her the perfect choice to take on an entire town full of suspicious strangers and, hiding among them, a group of violent elite powerbrokers who will stop at nothing when it comes to enriching their bank accounts or protecting their criminal activities.Driven by her hatred of bullies, Casey takes on the case of Gandy, South Carolina, a seemingly quiet Southern town with well-orchestrated charm, not to mention dark secrets that go back generations. But something is terribly wrong in Gandy and only Casey seems interested in stopping it. All-too-convenient deaths, strange disappearances, and a reign of terror conducted by a seemingly untouchable town bully have all eroded the spirit of Gandy's people. Beset by fear, they have learned to look the other way and excuse the corruption that poisons their tow in an effort to hold on to what they have left. Can Casey forestall the many attacks on her character and lifestyle in order to wake up the people of Gandy and force them to face the truth? Will her courage in standing up to Gandy’s bullies inspire others '' or will she become yet another of Gandy's forgotten victims?
Monkey See Monkey Do is an exploration of human nature, the secretive culture of the South, the challenges of America's shifting demographics and basic issues of human decency and fairness. What do good people do when faced with the darkness? As Casey is determined to show them, the one thing you don't do is… nothing. No matter what the cost.
