Home Before Midnight

You can run, but you cannot escape your past...

After her career in New York crashes and burns, Bailey Wells returns to her sleepy hometown of Stokesville, North Carolina, as personal assistant to true crime writer Paul Ellis. When Ellis's wife is murdered in their home, Bailey attracts the interest of seasoned detective Steve Burke.

Burke doesn't want to believe Bailey is guilty of murder. But as their investigation threatens to uncover the deadly secrets of the past, can they prove her innocence before the killer strikes again?
