One for Sorrow A Cody Hart Mystery – Book 1 By award-winning author Raegan Teller
A missing girl. A town full of secrets. And a man with his own reasons for being there. When special investigator Cody Hart arrives in a remote North Carolina mountain town, he's not looking for trouble—but trouble finds him. A young Cherokee girl has vanished, and the community is spiraling into panic and suspicion. As Cody joins the search, he uncovers far more than a simple disappearance. Long-standing land disputes, buried histories, and a powerful local family with a grip on the town all point to something more sinister. The deeper Cody digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Caught between his quiet mission and a case no one wants solved, Cody must decide how far he’s willing to go—and who he can trust—before another innocent life is lost.
