Book Description

In the quaint yet conservative town of Forest Glen, Oregon, change is brewing in the form of a groundbreaking lawsuit known as the Singleton Settlement. This legal mandate demands that the next six recruits to the local police force hail from minority backgrounds. Among them is Quinn Summer, a resilient woman who has returned to Oregon following a harrowing ordeal involving her homicidal husband and a fiery blaze that nearly claimed her life. But the promise of diversity and inclusion outlined in the settlement does little to shield Quinn and her fellow recruits from the venomous tendrils of bigotry and discrimination, both within the community and even among their own ranks. Determined to defy the odds stacked against them, Quinn takes it upon herself to unite the disparate group of rookies in the face of adversity. As they struggle to prove their worth and secure their places within the department, Quinn finds herself drawn into a tangled web of secrets and deception lurking beneath Forest Glen’s tranquil facade. A mysterious caller confesses to long-buried crimes, only to be dismissed by the authorities as a mere attention-seeker. Yet Quinn suspects there may be kernels of truth hidden within the woman's tales. With time ticking away, Quinn embarks on a perilous journey to unravel the enigma of the confessions while battling her demons and fighting for acceptance within the department. Can she uncover the truth behind the confessions before another victim falls prey to a cunning killer? Or will her quest for justice collide with the insidious forces of prejudice and ignorance?
