A lost fortune in jewels, a stolen legacy, and murder. True podcaster Nola Rae Landry returns to her sleepy hometown for a less hectic life. Since she can work anywhere, being away from big cities isn't a problem. Her next series has local interest. The matriarch of an old-money family dies, leaving behind a letter that shocks her heirs with two stunning revelations including a confession to murder.
And that's only the beginning. Before she died, Edith Wainwright shared even more secrets from the past with Nola Rae. Nola Rae is far more than just another voice chasing attention. A certified forensic document examiner, she's skilled at finding the truth. As tensions rise, scandal explodes, and a prominent local is found murdered, Nola Rae is convinced that if she follows the clues, she'll uncover a long-hidden treasure, expose a century-old injustice, and reveal a killer who has remained in the shadows for far too long. Welcome to Solitude, Louisiana, a small town on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River.
Stately oaks draped in Spanish moss, magnolia blossoms in full bloom, and the polished grace of the South-where beauty and charm conceal darker, deadlier legacies beneath a sweet Southern drawl.
