No roads lead to Loving, Texas. Hidden deep in the pine forests of East Texas, Loving exists in its own unique reality. A reality that Assistant District Attorney Melanie Dillahunty knows well. She grew up in it. Melanie left home for college and law school in Austin, but found herself back in Loving, working for her father for reasons she can’t explain, even to herself. When her father’s oldest and closest friend is murdered, Melanie finds that there are many things in and around Loving that defy explanation.
