Jess Montgomery

The kinship series, 3

"Ohio, 1927: Moonshining is a way of life in rural Bronwyn County, and even the otherwise upstanding Sheriff Lily Ross has been known to turn a blind eye when it comes to the stills in the area. But when thirteen-year-old Jebediah Ranklin almost dies after drinking a tainted moonshine, Lily knows that someone has gone too far, and--with the help of organizer and moonshiner Marvena Whitcomb--is determined to find out who. But then, Lily's nemesis, the businessman George Vogel, reappears in town with his new wife, Fiona. Along with them is also her former brother-in-law Luther Ross, now an agent for the newly formed Bureau of Prohibition. To Lily, it seems too much of a coincidence that they should all arrive now. As fall turns to winter, a blizzard closes in. Lily starts to peel back the layers of deception shrouding the town of Kinship and soon suspects that many around her have betrayed those they hold dear--and that Fiona, too, may have a dark agenda of her own. With compassion and insight, Jess Montgomery weaves a gripping mystery and portrait of community in the third novel in the powerful Kinship series."--, Provided by publisher
