Atmospheric southern suspense abounds, as Detective P.T. Marsh takes on a harrowing new case and old personal demons in the powerful, fast-paced follow-up to The Good Detective. What if the one good thing you did in your life doomed you to die? After unveiling a statewide ring of killers, Detective P.T. Marsh hopes his professional success can help put his broken past behind him. Though still mourning the deaths of his wife and son, he has a new relationship on the horizon and what seems like a slam-dunk case. When Marsh and his partner, Remy Morgan, are asked to investigate the suspicious death of local real estate baron Ennis Fultz, it's easy for them to name a list of suspects. Mason Falls, Georgia, may be a small town, but Fultz has amassed enemies, including violent neighbors, a wronged ex-wife, and an escort, all of whom have reasons to want the man dead. But as Marsh and Remy dig into the case, it becomes clear that Fultz's death was not an isolated case of revenge, and may be part of a dark web of crimes connected to the accident that killed P.T.'s wife and son a couple years earlier. P.T. begins to veer dangerously off track as his search for clues brings him into a seedy criminal underworld where a man's good deeds turn out to be more dangerous than his worst crimes.
