Summary

Danger stalks the Ozarks. “A big southern gothic thriller packed with secrets . . . Original, dark, and staggering.” —Samantha Downing, USA Today–bestselling author of My Lovely Wife   Mary Grace Dobbs is the first female sheriff of her Arkansas hometown, a position that doesn’t sit well with some of the locals. Keeping order and her demons at bay becomes an impossible task when a Black drifter suspected in earlier child disappearances returns to Repentance . . . and another sixth grader vanishes.    With old prejudices and new secrets spilling out into the open, the modern world soon illuminates the village’s darkest corners. The case becomes even more fraught as a cult of white supremacists brings its gospel of hate to Repentance and violence explodes, claiming more lives. Racing to find the missing girl while fearing for the safety of her own sixth-grade daughter, Mary Grace must confront an unspeakable truth—and face a decision no parent should ever have to make.    Set in the remote Ozark hills, where the secrets run as deep as the hollows, Saving Grace blends elements of To Kill a Mockingbird with twisty, edge-of-your-seat psychological suspense. This startling debut novel introduces a captivating protagonist whose concept of good and evil can shape a young girl—then and now.   “The scariest literary ride of the year . . . nothing short of breath-taking and the ending will blow your socks off.” —John Lescroart, New York Times–bestselling author  “An ingenious multi-generational plot reaches a terrifying crescendo you won’t easily forget.” —Joseph Finder, New York Times–bestselling author

    Many lives collide in this quest to win a billion dollars for picking all the winners in the annual National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament. Some are looking for riches, others for simple survival and personal redemption.
    
    Mathematician Sinclair Dane sponsors the contest, seeking money for a safety net for her troubled mother. She does not have a billion dollars to pay a winner. Risking her reputation and possible legal charges for fraud, she pins her hopes on the astronomical odds against anyone picking all the winners.
    
    Math professor Lewis Cusac uses the basketball contest to teach remedial math to college students, two of whom are playing in the tournament.
