Nothing exciting ever happens in Corinth County. Hidden in the deep east Texas piney woods where gossip is king and aspirations are discouraged, the folks are protected by the Corinth County Sheriff's department. Angelina Santos is the department's head dispatcher. Hungry to have a life outside of Corinth but bound by her past, she suffers a love/hate relationship with the dying Texas community. Progress can't be held back forever, though. Especially when it involves murder...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A startling 911 call comes in as Angel is finishing her usual evening shift. Unable to locate the victim, she listens in horror as a murder takes place. Haunted by a familiar yet unidentifiable sound in the background, she struggles to make sense of the crime while also dealing with her rebellious daughter, her befuddled mother and an ex-husband who's serving five to ten in a Huntsville prison. When she finds herself falling for the new doctor in town, she thinks she's found the answer to her problems. She has no idea they're about to get much worse.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Her ex is out of prison and her daughter is headed for college but Angel has more to worry about than these two. A rusted oil barrel has been spotted floating down Lost Woman Creek and when the lid comes off, the dismembered body of Brother Williams's missing wife is found inside, her head tucked neatly beneath her arm. Corinth is shocked and stunned as the Baptist preacher claims innocence. Angel isn't convinced, though. Especially after she learns Thomas Williams has a deep, dark secret. If he reveals it, he might prove his case, but if he stays silent, he could lose his soul. Angel's life hangs on his decision.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Christmas in Corinth is cold and bleak but Angel's sister is engaged and her mother has a new friend so love is definitely in the air. Then three of her daughter's friends from school, home on vacation are found dead and the choking game is blamed. The tragedy tears at Corinth's very foundation and every question Angel asks opens the wounds wider. After a state representative decides he should get involved, the tiny community grows even more worried. When the truth is finally revealed, Angel fears it will hardly matter. She'll be dead next and no one will know why.
