There has been a murder in Sparta, Georgia.
A love triangle has sparked a murder-suicide, but now the mistress is missing. The local police, a corrupt, good-ole-boys society, have no interest in finding Trixie Taylor, an outsider and an ex-felon.
But this mystery author-turned-detective, Nancy Doe, thinks otherwise. She and her unlikely band of outsiders with secrets of their own, embark on their private investigation. The outsiders discover more mysteries as they encounter gang-related activities, corruption, and long-buried truths hidden beneath the surface of Sparta.
Friendships form, love blossoms, uneasy alliances take shape, and powerful enemies lurk as the group inches closer to revealing the sinister ties between the town's elite and the Dixie Mafia. Is Trixie hiding, or has she met the same fate as the others? And as Nancy pushes forward, risking everything, she faces one final question - how far is she willing to go to find Trixie and expose Sparta's darkest secrets?
