In 'The Hangman's Tree,' Dr. Victoria Grant investigates a five-year-old tragic death during Charleston's Azalea Festival, questioning whether confessions are born of gallantry or guilt. 'Dig Me Later' follows Hortense Clinton, who, after a murder next door, seeks anonymity in Nova Scotia only to find herself surrounded by suspicious characters and attempts on her life. Finally, 'The Leather Duke' plunges Johnny Fletcher and Sam Cragg into Chicago's leather business, where they quickly stumble upon a corpse, igniting a chaotic adventure.
