The Natchez Trace National Parkway stretches 444 miles from Nashville to Natchez, the oldest town on the Mississippi River. It's the perfect road for a relaxed pleasure drive. Unfortunately for park ranger Luke Fereday, lately it's being used to move drugs. Sent to Natchez to infiltrate the organization at the center of the drug ring, Luke arrives too late to a stakeout and discovers the body of his friend, park ranger John Danvers.

John's daughter Brooke is determined to investigate her father's murder, but things are more complicated than they first appear, and Brooke soon finds herself the target of a killer who will do anything to silence her. Luke will have his hands full keeping her safe. But who's going to keep him safe when he realizes he's falling--hard--for the daughter of the man he failed to save?

Award-winning author Patricia Bradley introduces you to a new series set in the sultry South that will have you wiping your brow and looking over your shoulder.

My thoughts: I loved this mystery! I have enjoyed the other books I have read by Patricia, but this one might be my favorite to date, since it has a lot going on and keeps the reader in suspense until the end. The characters are wonderful, and I love that we meet the heroine to the next book in the series in this one (I'm so glad that Emma gets her own book!). Reading about the Trace makes me want to go see the sight now! This is an excellent start to a new series.

I received a copy of this book from Revell. This is my honest review.
