Quote:Her discovery of evidence tampering in a high-profile rape case leads Cricket on a vigilante mission, but her plan for justice is uprooted when a mysterious group surfaces.

Trigger warnings: References to sexual assault, murder, female- instigated violence, and, most triggering of all, making fun of men, piled high and tucked into a spicy cussword sandwich.

Cricket McCorkle is the new assistant to Bill Williamson, a retired criminal defense attorney with a freaky Sir Walter Raleigh obsession. Between three-hour lunches at the City Club, he's usually in his office writing his hoity-toity historical novel. Cricket's primary duty is operating the Keurig, but the boss can only drink so many decaf hazelnut numbers in a day and it's literally pushing a damn button.

She's bored out of her mind.

But things get more interesting when Williamson takes a case as a favor to the South Carolina governor, and Cricket discovers an injustice that her past won't let her ignore.

Even if it means she can never come home.
