Shakespeare's Champion

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO’s hit series True Blood and NBC’s Midnight, Texas, the second installment in a mystery series that pulls no punches …

When Lily Bard agrees to open the gym for her sometime-boyfriend, it’s a sign of something she’s rejected for years—connection. Trust. The beginnings of being part of a community. And when she finds the corpse of a murdered bodybuilder waiting for her, it’s a sign she doesn’t know nearly as much about the home she’s chosen as she thought.

Shakespeare, Arkansas has seen three unsolved, seemingly unconnected murders in two months, and the town is tense with suspicion and rage. Lily’s contact on the police force develops an ulterior agenda. An anonymous white supremacist group is papering cars and threatening worse to come. And there’s a new man in town, someone whose face reminds Lily of the darkest time in her past …

Shakespeare needs answers, and Lily can’t rest until she has them. But there’s no telling how deep the rot spreads. And if she can’t trust anyone, she’ll be facing it down alone.

“Full of surprises, this second fast-paced and gripping Lily Bard adventure showcases the amateur sleuth’s strength, determination, and martial arts prowess […] An engaging puzzler that's propelled smoothly along by Lily’s easy no-frills narration.”—Publishers Weekly
