CAST OF CHARACTERS

      Sara Lindsey—Injured in the same mysterious accident that took her husband’s life, the former cop can’t remember anything about that night. Now she’s back in Purgatory, Tennessee, looking for answers, but what she finds are more questions—and an unexpected attraction to a dangerous man.

      Cain Dennison—For nearly twenty years, he’s been running from lingering accusations that he killed Renee Lindsey, the only girl he ever loved. He’s returned to Purgatory and is working at a P.I. agency hired to investigate that same murder. But when his case crosses paths with Sara’s, will she be an obstacle? Or a lifeline?

      Donnie Lindsey—Sara’s late husband had been keeping secrets from her before his death, all connected to his obsession with his sister’s murder.

      Carl Dunkirk—Sara’s father never stopped wondering who killed Donnie’s sister, Renee. DNA proved Cain Dennison definitely wasn’t the father of Renee’s unborn baby. But he wonders if jealousy drove Cain to murder.

      Brad Ellis—Carl’s former partner wants Sara and her father to consult on a new murder that has suspicious similarities to the Renee Lindsey case.

      Jim and Becky Allen—Donnie’s former baseball coach was one of his favorite teachers. And Jim’s beautiful wife, Becky, is practically Purgatory royalty. But is the golden couple keeping secrets about the night of Donnie’s death?

      Lila Birdsong—Cain’s grandmother’s love and support got him through his nightmare of a childhood. Could she also hold the key to discovering what happened the night of Donnie Lindsey’s death?

      Alexander Quinn—The former CIA agent assigned Cain to the Renee Lindsey case, despite the apparent conflict of interest. Does he have a hidden agenda?
