Four years ago, Zeph Riordan sent an innocent man to prison.
Tobin Carden died there still swearing he’d been framed. Zeph believed the case against him, but Tobin’s sister never did.
Now Zeph is back in Brenton, investigating another man blamed for a crime he may not have committed. What begins as a railroad case soon leads straight into the past Zeph would rather leave buried—and back to Mara Carden.
Mara has spent years trying to clear her brother’s name. The last man she wants beside her is the one who destroyed it. But if they’re going to learn what really happened to Tobin, they’ll have to work together.
The deeper they dig, the closer they come to Orrin Vardell, a wealthy freight owner with influence all over Brenton, and plenty to lose if Zeph and Mara learn the truth about his business.
Soon witnesses are afraid to talk, men are being followed, and Zeph realizes Tobin’s conviction was only one piece of a scheme that’s been running through Brenton for years.
He failed Tobin once.
He won’t make the same mistake with Mara.
How many more will have to die for the truth?
