When a young woman collapses at a local gathering and a mysterious illness starts sweeping through Magnolia Grove, the official explanations don't add up. Not with Parker Hayes's instincts-and certainly not with the Garden Club sounding a frantic alarm.
As rumors multiply and paranoia turns neighbor against neighbor, Parker starts pulling at threads some people would rather keep tangled. But the more answers she finds, the deeper the confusion grows, and the rising panic makes it nearly impossible to see the truth clearly.
With Whit by her side and Major never far behind, Parker digs into a case tangled with fear, suspicion and secrets no one wants exposed. And in a town already on edge, uncovering the truth may be the only way to stop the chaos from spreading even further.
In Magnolia Grove, panic can pour faster than facts.
