Tai Randolph has several anniversaries under her belt. A year running the Civil War gun shop she inherited with its busy schedule of reenactments. A year together with Trey, her sexy if somewhat challenging ex-SWAT lover. Tai is determined to keep her amateur sleuthing in the past, not just for her sake, but for Trey's. But before she can pop the champagne, an old nemesis returns with a diabolical scheme to ruin both her and Trey. Soon she's deep in familiar troubles—a missing ex-boyfriend, a creepily literate stalker, a passel of stolen money—and back in Savannah, the hometown she'd hoped to keep forever in her rear-view mirror. She's forced to confront her messily unresolved past, including an uncomfortable reunion with her Uncle Boone, who's keeping secrets he'd rather take to his grave than reveal. As a killer closes in, Tai has to decide if discovering the truth will be her redemption or her ruin. And she only gets one chance to get it right.
