Summary
\"Secrets could create very odd . . . . and unpleasant . . . . alliances.\" It appears that someone may be getting away with murder, or is it just a coincidence that a very cold case has given up all but one of its witnesses? When a decades old skeleton is found buried on construction property in a small municipality, county detective Mac McGregor is dispatched to help the local police chief Lisa Grant process the scene. Following rather frosty introductions, the two agree to put aside first impressions and pool their resources to solve an intriguing case. The burial site contains several important clues which ultimately lead the two officers straight into the path of a seriously dangerous individual whose intent is rather obvious; secrets must remain buried. Aside from the case, Mac McGregor and Lisa Grant feel an immediate attraction towards each other; both having recently moved to the St. Louis area in order to put aside their previous, more dangerous careers; in the hopes that they might find a way to settle down and establish families of their own. Deciding to make their relationship a priority after the case is solved, they never imagined that one of them would find his/herself in the crosshairs of a cold blooded killer. Irene Hannon writes wonderful romantic suspense and \"Buried Secrets\" is no exception.
