If you dig too deep, you might find skeletons!

On his first trip to Orvin, Oklahoma (Cole Dust Book #4) Cole Sage discovered a trunk of journals written by the grandfather he barely knew. They opened up a world of family history and the answers to questions that plagued him throughout his life.
But, beware when everything is going too good! As they say, life happens. When Cole’s world is turned upside down when his career as a newspaper man comes to an abrupt end. What is he to do? Where is he to go?
Will being Professor Cole hold the answer? Or will he find the world of academia to be run by the same narrow-minded people as the newspaper industry? So once again Cole is called upon to stand on his principals to defend the rights of those being bullied.
The idea of turning the Cole Dust journals into a novel seems the answer. He returns to Orvin, to retreat and write.
Can DNA lie? New discoveries and a new limb on the family tree holds a very real and unpleasant threat. Who is this new cousin? Is she the real heir to the Orvin Farm? Can she, will she take the farm?
Join Cole as he gets caught up in events that nearly swallow him, and result in a decision a lifetime in the making.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from book #9 in the Cole Sage Mystery Series - Soul of Cole!
