Carl Hiaasen meets Lisa Gardner in Gary Gusick’s edgy, irresistible Darla Cavannah series! In The Legacy, a college coed’s murder exposes deadly tensions tearing through the Deep South.

She and her dreamy husband, Dr. Stephen Nicoletti, have just been approved to adopt a baby girl in China, and getting wrapped up in…
Darla and her partner Rita investigate the hanging of the governor’s adopted daughter. Caitlin’s death was treated as a hate crime on the campus of Ole Miss University. During the investigation, Darla finds evidence Caitlin was looking for her birth parents. There is evidence she may have gotten close to finding the answers. Was that the reason for her death?
