Can a battle-scarred detective with chilling secrets seize her only chance of redemption in this gripping mystery from a talented voice in crime fiction?

The Sugar Man follows Dakota, whose world broke in two the day her best friend Flora was murdered. Dakota has never been able to confess her own dark secret about that day.

Years later, now a detective, Dakota is struggling to hide her trauma. At a crossroads, she is taken aback to be assigned a case back in her hometown. This case has uncanny echoes of Flora and a connection to the nearby Amish-like community, whose faithful flock might just be hiding a murderer.

Dakota's job requires her to unmask a serial killer. But her heart just needs to finally find out what happened to her best friend...
