Gae-Lynn Woods Official Website

A BIZARRE MURDER

Angie Scarborough killed her husband after she discovered his dirty little secret. Still raw from her own
unsolved rape six years ago, Detective Cass Elliot is stunned when confronted with graphic photographs
scattered across the Scarborough kitchen floor.

A COVERT WEB OF LIES AND EXPLOITATION

Cass and her partner Mitch Stone delve into a cunning world of blackmail and violence - and find a cult
concealed for nearly a century beneath the genteel, small town façade of Arcadia in East Texas. Their
investigation triggers a brutal response from powerful men who will protect their identities at any cost. They
unleash a ruthless killer whose actions create a media frenzy and destroy the fabric of trust within the police
department.

A PERVASIVE EVIL

Cass and Mitch circle closer to the cult's few members, following a slim lead into a night lit by fire. A night
that begins with a blood ritual and ends with Cass holding a man's life - or death - in her hands and
struggling to walk the fine line between vengeance and justice.

"This debut effort is further proof that there are undiscovered novelists
out there who can more than keep up with the big names. I expect we'll be hearing more
of Gae-Lynn Woods in the future. Tip of the hat to a remarkable book by a promising
talent."
