  A colourful diversity of characters adds atmosphere and mystery that is unique to Africa.  Despite a remarkable degree of success towards his madcap schemes, von Tabis, blinded by reality, stumbles inexorably towards his ultimate destiny.

  Cold Case detective Cassidy Miller is no stranger to buried things—bodies, secrets, and memories she'd rather forget. Life with her fiancée, the brilliant but guarded defense attorney Julia Desjardin, is the closest thing she's felt to peace. But as Julia begins the emotional process of fertility treatments, Cassidy finds herself caught between wanting a future and fearing she doesn't deserve one. 
   
  When hidden graves are unearthed at a long-abandoned public housing site, Cassidy is pulled into a case fraught with redlining, corruption, and systemic injustice. As the investigation deepens, so does the scrutiny—from the media, from city officials, and from an ex-girlfriend who's back in town and crossing every boundary. 
   
  Caught between a past she's tried to forget and a future she's unsure she can have, Cassidy must confront hard truths. Because not everything buried stays that way. And the future she wants won't wait forever.

  What happens when a family loses everything and has no place to go? 
  "Thought provoking and Riveting! This book is one that will evoke many emotions, anger and frustration among them, and perhaps spur the need to take a deeper look at our law enforcement and social programs. Rebmay  
  Terrance Mack has a wife and two young boys. Never in a million years did he expect to find his family living on the streets, with no home, no jobs, in a position where everything they owned has been taken from them in the cruelest of ways. As the family struggles to stay together, they encounter a hard and unfriendly way of life, having to move from town to town, being harassed by the police and by locals, and confronting danger each day. Living on the streets is nothing as he expected. 
  All Terrance wants for his family is for someone to give them a chance—a chance for a new beginning, a roof over their heads, the opportunity to once again build a life without constant fear, having to look over their shoulders, feeling as if the rug will continue to be yanked out from under them again and again. 
  The worst is seeing the light in his wife’s eyes slowly diminish, along with the hope they once had. Terrance carries a constant weight, and every day brings a new challenge as doors close and they’re forced to move on. Even though they’ve stayed together, finding a place to stay has forced the family into survival mode, living one day at a time. The dignity Terrance once took for granted has become something he struggles to hold on to as he dreams of one day being able to have a peaceful night’s sleep.
