Synopses
But fate intervenes when he stumbles on the murder of a young equestrian in London and is arrested for the crime. As he hunts down the real killer, he is thrown together with a cowgirl veterinarian, a Texas rancher, and a grumpy cat in a series of coincidences only explained by the uncanny predictions found in a discovered manuscript from his grandmother.
The tale gallops along a foretold path filled with coincidences and plot twists, all while the actual murderer’s deadly ambition endangers all those August loves. To outrun the darkness that threatens to consume him, August must discover his own story, express his hidden gifts, and risk everything.
In this follow-up to the award–winning novel, Murder by Manuscript, the setting is late March 2020, and the pandemic is raging. Kit Raines goes missing while photographing the empty streets of Charlotte. Kit’s brother Henry calls his cousin, August Burns, for help. August packs up and roars off on his Indian Chief motorcycle, leaving New York City for North Carolina.
In his search for Kit, August joins forces with a provocative, ambitious journalist, a reclusive clairvoyant, and his cousin Henry’s tight-knit and well-armed family.
He comes face-to-face with a serial killer, who, undaunted by the lockdowns, continues to murder people in the name of atonement. When this Harley-riding vigilante on a self-declared mission from God turns his focus to August and those he holds dear, August must rise to the occasion, pushing the limits, unleashing his gifts, and embracing his purpose.
