Cage Foster is finishing up a long shift as a criminal investigator for the Adams County, Mississippi's Sheriff department. He's eager to go home to his fiancé and new baby when a report of shots fired at a friend's historical antebellum home changes everything.
When Cage arrives at Magnolia House, he discovers a victim on the front lawn and realizes his friends are still trapped inside. A domestic dispute between two guests has gone horribly wrong, and the hostage negotiation team won't arrive before the situation explodes.
With time running out, Cage must sneak into the house through the long forgotten tunnel once used to shuttle slaves back and forth. Once inside, his only hope is a surprise attack, but the old house has tricks of its own.
Will Cage be able to save his friends, or will he become yet another victim of a furious husband hellbent on punishment?

What a fast paced short story that will grab your attention from the very beginning to the very end. Nick and Jaymee are being held hostage at Magnolia House that Jaymee has turned into a B&B. It is up to Cage to try to figure out a way to save them and keep them alive. A heart stopping mystery that will be very hard to put down once you start to read it.
Another great Delta Detectives novella. Cage Foster has to save his best friend Jamie and his ex brother in law Nick, held hostage by a physcho tourists staying at magnolia house bed and breakfast. Can he do it? A fast paced story, exciting, only thing is it’s not long enough, but Stacy certainly packs a lot into it, highly recommended
Mrs Green's amazing ability to describe the vivid description of the plantations on her books brings me back on time as if I were there myself. I absolutely love all her books and her ability to mesmerize a page turner to the last page
