SynopsisTo attorney Noah Parks, the probate of a will should be a simple task. But the Last Will and Testament of Leonardo Xavier Cross is anything but simple. Though Parks has never heard of Cross, he learns that the Will directs that he provide the legal representation for the estate and as part of his fee he receive the contents of a safety deposit box – a safety deposit box no one knew existed. 


Intrigued, Parks undertakes the task but after the body count begins to rise the otherwise basic task of probating the will becomes more complicated as each day passes. Despite all of Parks’ skills, the answers he seeks remain elusive and force him to delve deeper into the shocking and deceptive Cross’ family history which sets the stage for an explosive finale that Parks can only hope to survive.

Review: This book sounded interesting, and I've loved Charleston, since our honeymoon there, so I was very happy to be on board the blog tour! And then I started reading! And kept reading, and tried to finish it in one sitting, but was too tired, so I had to make it last for 2 readings! I am VERY surprised this is Keefer's FIRST novel! He is SUCH a great writer! Ya'll know I like endings that keep you surprised and this one definitely does that!


This was a very tight mystery that keeps you guessing and had a very satisfying outcome. I can easily see this becoming a well made series, and even a movie or two! Parks is a character that has a good back story, is likable and I know Hollywood's best would be fighting over who would play him (my vote is for Noah Wylie)! Keefer really did his homework and crafted a well rounded story and I for one, am eagerly anticipating his follow up book!
