“A complicated, tense thriller” with “sharp writing” and an ending that’s “absolutely brutal.” — Kirkus Reviews THE GRANDEST HOMES HIDE THE DARKEST SECRETS The year is 1989. Harriet Fox puts her ballet career on hold and returns home to rural Texas, only to find her aging father accused of murder. Their backwater town always hated her father. Hated his Boston roots; hated that he moved into the grand estate that once belonged to the town royalty; hated that a white man dared to marry a black woman. Now the town smells blood, and they’ve brought their pitchforks. Their once-magnificent mansion is in decay, and a young girl has been found dead on their estate. Her father, now slipping into dementia, doesn’t remember a thing—or so he says. Harriet becomes determined to uncover the truth. Is her father a killer, or is the town’s urban legend coming true?
