On the Record: A Sam Shaw Mystery-Book Two

Give her one name, and she could hand you back your whole family. There's a woman in Austin who works miracles with a canvas bag of old deeds and census rolls: give her a single name and she'll return your dead, your lost, the great-grandmother nobody would talk about. So when she's found gone - a bad heart, everyone agrees, ruled natural in a single day, no autopsy - the whole city mourns and moves on. Sam doesn't. Because the beloved genealogist called her the week she died, breathless about a lie she'd finally pried loose from the paper - and people don't drop dead the same week they find a truth worth killing over. To prove it, Sam will have to do the one thing she swore she wouldn't: work the case with Reid Callahan, whose own investigation runs straight through the same forged records. Forced together over old documents and older secrets, the sparks get very hard to file under "professional." And somewhere past the edge of the city, a twenty-four-year-old cold case pulls one thread tighter. Book Two of the Sam Shaw Mysteries.
