About this audiobook

They called it a tragic accident. No leads. Case closed. Cora Delaney called it murder. Six weeks ago, a phone rang at three in the morning. Her father. A hit-and-run on the logging road. A driver who vanished into the dark and was never found. Now she's back in Stony Creek, a town that never changed, for a key to a cabin that still smells like him, woodsmoke and chamomile and old bike grease. But the cabin's in probate. The quarry her father kept alive is barely breathing. And everyone, from the old man at the counter to the site manager who won't meet her eyes, seems to want her gone before race week. The Gravel Grinder. The race her father won twice, back when it was a hundred locals and a keg at the finish line. Now it's a thousand entrants, sponsors from three states, and money worth killing for. She left this town years ago and swore she'd never come back. The mountains. The gravel. The quarry that ate her family whole. The more Cora digs, the more the official story cracks. A photo she wasn't meant to see. A tool that betrayed a brother. A paper trail with her family's name all over it. She came to bury her father. She stays to find out who put him in the ground. One wrong question. One locked door. One stranger who smiles too easily. And the closer she gets to the truth, the closer the danger gets to her, because the person who ran her father off that road never left town at all. One night, cornered and out of road, she hears the lie she almost believed. "You should've stayed in Chicago, Cora. Some seams aren't meant to be split open." But Cora Delaney didn't come home to grieve quietly. She came to find the enemy hiding in plain sight. Even if he's already inside the gate. Even if trusting the wrong person gets her killed. Gravel and Grace is a heart-pounding crime thriller about a mistaken target, a witness on the run, a small-town cover-up, a deadly race, buried family secrets, and an enemy closer than she knows. Perfect for readers who love romantic suspense, small-town conspiracies, hunted-heroine thrillers, slow-burn danger, and a justice that costs everything. A standalone thriller with a pulse-pounding finish.
