Synopsis

What is the price of justice? Everything. Bass Olson, a genius, out-of-work software designer, returns to Innocence, Arkansas, to be by his grandfather's deathbed. No one has been able to understand Old Zeke's final words, but Bass creates a program that can decipher them. Old Zeke wants his son's murderer caught and brought to justice. The fact that Daniel's death seventeen years prior was deemed accidental at the time is just the first of many complications. Gran Olson is a feisty retired MASH nurse whose ingenuity and devotion are well-known in Innocence. The night her husband dies, everything changes. Once she learns the truth of her son's murder, she dives into the case completely. With the help of Old Zeke's million-dollar insurance settlement offered as a reward, Gran and Bass begin gathering old clues. They soon find themselves confronting gangs, the KKK, family members who want more than a small piece of the money, and all sorts of characters comfortable with casual killing. In this world far from Innocence, Gran Olson will have to use all of her common sense and her faith to find the murderer and get herself and Bass out alive.

Goodreads review by Kels on April 25, 2025

This book is so much more than a murder investigation. It’s about coming home, facing ghosts from the past, and choosing what kind of person you want to be. The writing is beautiful, and the themes of family and justice are powerful. One of the best books I’ve read this year!......more
