Life and Death on Cannon Creek

In Civil War days the banks of Cannon Creek became the final resting place for Confederate soldiers who died in a battle there. Now it quietly meanders through the genteel suburb of Shelby, Georgia, where wars of a different type are fought behind closed planation doors.

Upon the death of his favorite aunt, Victoria, Adam Westfall returns to Shelby's distinctive Middleton Manor to help with the estate. Something is not right, the circumstances of Victoria's decline and death were suspicious, as were the death of her husband and others in the Middleton family circle over the years.

What goes on in the "best" families comes as a shock to Adam as he attempts to discover what really happened to the latest victims to fall on the banks of Cannon Creek.
