Framed‪!‬

The prime suspect in her brother's murder: Max Pershing.

He's the man Ava Renault has secretly loved since girlhood—against her controlling mother's wishes. When Dylan is found shot behind abandoned Renault Hall, all of Loomis points a finger across the parish divide.

A gold medallion recovered from Dylan's pocket directly links Max to the crime. Sheriff Reed and the FBI already have matching tire tracks from his red convertible. Deep down, Ava questions every piece of tidy evidence, questioning it before an innocent man pays for a vicious crime.

The wealthy Pershings have a longstanding feud with the even wealthier Renaults. Still, Ava believes that Max is innocent…believes it strongly enough to give him her heart. Even so, she stands by the only man she trusts.

But if he's not the killer, then who set him up? Who's the real murderer?
