Skeleton's Key

With the right motive, anyone can be a killer.

Caring for Ironwood is a dream come true for Cage Foster. The dream doesn't last long when a skeleton is found buried beneath the antebellum home. The unearthing of two additional fresh bodies quickly turns into a nightmare that could land him on Mississippi's death row.

Newcomer Dani Evans, a pushy Yankee specialist in historical renovation, is the only person certain of his innocence. She's convinced the legend of Ironwood's treasure cache is the motive for the murders. Cage believes the killer is someone with an old grudge, and the evidence against Cage is mounting fast.

Can Dani find the truth before Cage is arrested? Her search for answers uncovers a descent into madness that should have stayed buried.
