Forty years ago in Sequoyah, Georgia, Charles Overton was sentenced to die for the murder of a young woman, even though her body was never found. But the prosecution had all the ammunition it needed: a blood-stained dress and a jury out for vengeance... Now true-crime writer Jackson Kinley is coming home to grieve for an old friend. But Sequoyah sheriff Ray Tindal's death has left many questions: Why had he reopened the Overton case...and then, without explanation, shut it down? What was he looking for? And what did he find that he couldn't bear to reveal? The search for answers leds Kinley into a small-town web of corruption, secrecy and lies-and finally into the darkest corners of the human heart, where the terrible truth lies...in the evidence of blood
