Seven Angels - Paperback

by Keith Roysdon (Author)

From the author of "That October."

"Keith Roysdon is a masterful storyteller and I was absolutely spellbound by SEVEN ANGELS. Set in a small Tennessee town beset by criminals - some petty, some monstrous - this tense, vivid thriller is wildly engaging from start to finish." -Julia Dahl, author of "I Dreamed of Falling" and "The Missing Hours"

A young woman returns to her small Tennessee hometown to help run the family funeral business after her father's death and discovers Seven Angels has changed for the worse: prescription drug abuse is rampant, murders go unsolved, the sheriff is corrupt, white supremacists rule and a human trafficker from Russia controls the town.

Gloria Shepherd grew up in Seven Angels and is shocked by the changes. She gets drafted into replacing her ailing mentor as the county coroner. The duties put her in deadly conflict with the sheriff and the trafficker, who pursues a Ukrainian girl. Gloria assembles a close group of trusted friends - including an overlooked sheriff's deputy, a fearless state investigator and an old mountain woman - to fight the forces of crime and

corruption and rescue the missing girl.
