Sometimes the past doesn't stay buried...
When Jessica Watt's dog unearths a skeleton in a pecan grove, the amateur detective has no idea she's about to unravel a decades-old mystery that will shake a family to its core. What really happened to Paul Brown, who vanished without a trace years ago?
With each clue Jessica uncovers, another layer of deception is revealed. A potential hidden affair. A troubled son who died too young. A business partner harboring an obsessive love. And a prominent local family desperate to keep their reputation intact at any cost.
From the mountains of Texas to the badlands of Mexico, Jessica risks everything to expose the truth. But some families guard their secrets with deadly determination, and someone is watching her every move. When the investigation leads to a shocking confrontation, Jessica must decide how much she'll risk to expose the truth, especially when she realizes that some family secrets might be better left in the dark.
A gripping tale of family, betrayal, and the explosive power of long-buried secrets, this novel proves that the past always finds its way into the light-no matter how deep it's hidden.
Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and Louise Penny, MATADOR is a gripping mystery that proves family secrets are deadlier than any weapon.
