Forever Gone
A Lee Danforth Suspense Novel
Charleston attorney Lee Danforth thought she had buried her past, along with the devastating secrets of Timberline Farm and the man who once shattered her youth. But when her former abuser, Jack Marshall, turns up dead and the cause of death raises troubling questions, old traumas resurface with chilling force.
As Lee struggles to stay detached, a desperate young woman arrives at her office, revealing that the horrors at Timberline Farm didn’t die with Jack– they’ve only evolved. Beneath Charleston’s genteel surface lies a web of corruption, blackmail, and exploitation, all tied to some of the city's most powerful families. And the Marshalls are at the center of it.
Drawn into a dangerous game she never meant to play, M.L. must confront not only the ghosts of her past but the living monsters still preying on the innocent. Speaking out could cost her everything, but remaining silent could cost countless others their lives.
