Deeper Than the Grave: 4 (A Tai Randolph Mystery) - Softcover

Dark, compelling and relentless--Whittle's street smarts and wry humor combine for a taut and tense tale starring one of mystery's sexiest couples. Smoldering, sinister, and consistently entertaining!--Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha and Anthony Award winner

Deeper Than the Grave hooked me from the first page: a deliciously addictive fusion of mystery, history, and combustible physical chemistry. Whittle has created an unforgettable crime-solving duo in Tai Randolph and ex-FBI agent Trey Seaver, who kept me guessing to the end as they tracked down a series of murders linked to Atlanta s Civil War past. A thoroughly satisfying read, and I can t wait to see where Tai and Trey go next.--Beatriz Williams, bestselling author of A Hundred Summers and The Secret Life of Violet Grant"

It's taken almost a year, but Tai Randolph has her new life together. She's running a semi-successful Atlanta gun shop catering to Civil War re-enactors. Her lover, the sexy-if-security-obsessed Trey Seaver, is sorting out his challenges. There's not a single corpse on her horizon, and her previously haphazard existence is finally stable, secure... and unsurprising. Then a tornado blows by a Kennesaw Mountain cemetery, scattering the skeletal remains of a Confederate hero. Assisting the bones recovery effort is a job her late Uncle Dexter would have relished, as does Tai. Does she hit the jackpot on discovering a jumble of bones in the underbrush?

No. The bones reveal a more recent murder, with her deceased uncle leading the suspect list. As Tai struggles to clear Dexter's name--and save the business he left her--she uncovers deadly secrets were also buried in the red Georgia clay. And realizes there's a live murderer on the loose, a clever killer who has tried to conceal the crimes of the present in the stories of the past. As she risks her own life to unravel two mysteries--one from a previous century, one literally at her doorstep--Tai rediscovers her dangerous taste for murder and mayhem.
