American Injustice

A wildfire rages in the foothills outside Evangeline Everhardt's hometown, and the power utility company has accused Eve's brother of starting it. Aaron Ashe seems like the type: a long-time drug addict, a disgruntled former employee, and recently killed resisting arrest by a sheriff's deputy. He's not even buried before SE&G is pointing the finger. When Eve's husband, Sergeant Deputy Hank Everhardt, won't fight to clear Aaron's name, Eve takes the investigation into her own hands. Eve hunts for the only witness to Aaron's death only to find the girl missing. Someone is eager to keep Aaron's case quiet … and Eve has to figure out who before wildfires turn the evidence to ashes. A successor to She Killed Him First by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author SM Reine.

It's a smoky autumn morning when Kimber Clark gets the alert: her kindergartner's school is on lockdown. She's still drunk when she joins other parents outside the police tape, but not so drunk that she can't pick up details: Zack Linzy, a high schooler, opened fire in the school cafeteria, killing four people. But that's not possible. Zack Linzy is a freak, a boy who assaulted Kimber's daughter, and Kimber killed him with a shovel two days ago. The police are looking for the school shooter in the wrong place, and the real killer might get away with it. Kimber can't tell the police they've got the wrong suspect without showing them where she buried the body. No-she has to solve a school shooting, absolve her daughter's abuser, and make sure the real killer comes to justice. All without getting caught for the murder she committed.
