"Federal Agent Aaron Falk hasn't been back to the place where he grew up in twenty years. Not since he and his father were run out of town. Even when Falk gets word that his childhood best friend, Luke, is dead, his entire family murdered, Falk still isn't planning on going back. But then he gets a note: 'Luke lied. You lied. Be at the funeral.' And just like that, Falk is swept back into the secrets of the place and people he left so long ago. Amid the worst drought in a century, long-buried mysteries will resurface. And Falk will discover anew what he's known all along -- sometimes you have to go back home in order to finally leave your past behind." -- Back cover.

"The Amish community in Appleseed Creek's new bishop believes the best way to help his district in the struggling economy is to increase tourism. He invites Blue Suede Tours from Mississippi to visit the community and asks his district to host the southern visitors. The Troyer family agrees to participate in the tour with an old-fashioned milking demonstration on the family's dairy farm. But when two Mississippians die during the milk taste test, the local police chief believes someone poisoned them, and Timothy Troyer's father is her number suspect. Computer whiz, Chloe Humphrey, jumps onto the tour bus as an undercover tour guide in order to prove her boyfriend's father is innocent despite the Troyer family's reservations about her and Timothy's relationship. If they solve crime, will Chloe and Timothy finally prove that they belong together or will the investigation be the final act to tear them apart?"--

Norah McClintock

Mike McGill, quinze ans, habite désormais avec John Riel, professeur d'histoire et ancien policier de la brigade des homicides, qui a accepté de l'adopter à la suite de la mort de son cousin Billy (cf. ##Délit de fuite##, du même auteur). L'adolescent se fait peu à peu à sa nouvelle vie en dépit des règles très strictes établies par son père adoptif. Or, la situation s'envenime lorsque Robbie Ducharme, un compagnon de classe de Mike, est battu à mort dans un parc. Riel semble en effet soupçonner son fils d'être impliqué dans le meurtre, même si Mike affirme que ses poings meurtris ne sont que le résultat d'une bagarre entre copains. Cependant, lorsqu'un mystérieux témoin affirme avoir vu Mike dans le parc le soir du meurtre et que la police commence également à le soupçonner, tout se complique. Le jeune homme se retrouve bientôt pris au coeur d'une infernale spirale de mensonges et en vient à ne plus savoir à qui il peut réellement se fier. Qui sont ses véritables amis? -- Une intrigue policière menée de main de maître, dans laquelle on retrouve avec plaisir les personnages crédibles et nuancés de ##Délit de fuite##. L'auteure réussit avec brio à maintenir le suspense et à créer chez son lecteur une suspicion qui va crescendo jusqu'au dénouement final. [SDM].
