Sometimes going home is the most dangerous thing you can do.
Junkie burnout Troy Ingram murders an elderly couple outside small-town Morrison, Illinois. He's supposed to make it look like a robbery, but there's so much blood he panics and flees. When he's caught by police, he falls back on Plan B: tell everyone who will listen his motive was revenge on the Durrell family.
See, twenty years ago, Kelly Durrell broke his heart and ruined his life.
When Kelly returns to Morrison for the funerals, leaving her life in Boulder still packed in boxes and her relationship with detective Cash Peterson in its infancy, local gossip is quick to reach her. Troy's story doesn't make sense, but everyone in town seems happy to blame Kelly.
She can't even turn to her family for consolation: she and her mother get in an argument every time they talk, her dad doesn't want to make waves, and her cousins are too busy fighting over their inheritance to care about anything else.
But Troy's lawyer, Lizzy D'Angelo, is sure someone forced Troy to commit the murders, and that Kelly is the key to finding out who. With Lizzy's help, Kelly starts digging. Soon she discovers just how many secrets a small town can hide.
Can Kelly shine a light in her hometown's dark corners without getting herself and her family killed?
Hometown Boys is a smart, tension-filled thriller that will keep you riveted until the surprising, satisfying end.
