Is there nothing a mother wouldn't do to save her own child? Rochelle Pendleton has a problem. Her three-year-old son, Joey, has been diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening illness, and his only chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant-and his odds are best with a familial donor, and she's not a match. Her dilemma lies in the non-disclosure agreement she signed at Joey's birth, exchanging her silence regarding the child's paternity for a sizable cash settlement. Desperate to appeal to the man's sensibilities without violating the NDA, Ms. Pendleton sets out to hire a team of private detectives to relay her urgent plea for help, but she can't seem to find a firm willing to accept the assignment-at least not until she walks through the doors of Boggs Investigations. Once Dwayne Morrow learns the identity of Joey's father, a powerful senator with connections to an achingly fresh personal loss, it provides an unexpected opportunity to gain closure for his family while helping a distraught mother in the process. With or without Doug's approval, it's a case Dwayne simply can't refuse. Will Dwayne find the answers he's looking for or will the senator's highly-trained security detail stop him dead in his tracks?

Reeling from a tragic personal loss, Dwayne Morrow is drawn to a remote portion of West Virginia, looking for answers. What he finds is a community frozen in time. Welcome to Briarstaff, West Virginia, population 1,967. Founded in the early 1800s by workers of a now-defunct mining operation, the town remains home to generations of natives who continue to farm and conduct business in timeworn buildings bordering a charming town square. The grassy central plaza hosts many local events-the annual Apple Festival is currently underway. On the surface, it's a picture-perfect postcard of pure Americana where folks of all ages gather to laugh, eat, listen to music, and ride the attractions, undeterred by cell phones and other modern distractions. Following his sister's footsteps, Dwayne goes undercover to discover exactly what happened during Gina's earlier stay. After a cordial yet frosty reception, Dwayne quickly begins to suspect something much bigger than small-town politics are at play. Encountering hospitality and hostility in equal measure and unsure of whom he can trust, Dwayne soon finds himself trapped, unable to reach outside assistance. The sun has set in this sleepy little town, but secrets long buried are burbling to the surface-secrets worth killing to protect. If Dwayne can't fit the pieces together, he may never again see the light of day Diversion is the fourth nail-biting entry in the Dwayne Morrow Mystery series.
