Beneath the Southern charm, Savannah's secrets are darker than its cobblestone streets.

US Marshal Katelyn Landers never expected her estranged sister-in-law, Vivienne Chandler, to show up on her doorstep, especially not with a chilling claim that her husband has emptied their bank accounts and vanished. But what begins as a shocking revelation takes a darker turn when Vivienne herself disappears in the dead of night, leaving behind three young children and a trail of unsettling questions.

As Katelyn juggles the demands of her job and the sudden responsibility of caring for three traumatized kids, she delves into the murky mystery of her missing family members. Every clue she uncovers only deepens the dangerous web of deceit, forcing Katelyn to confront a harrowing choice: protect her loved ones or bring the guilty to justice.

If the pulse-pounding suspense of Harlan Coben's The Stranger kept you on edge, Veronica Mixon's thriller Changing Sands will have you hooked from the first page.
