A Longer Fall

In the second installment of the Gunnie Rose series by Charlaine Harris, Lizbeth Rose takes on a protection job transporting a mysterious crate into Dixie, a remote and socially traditional part of the former United States. What begins as an apparently straightforward mission soon spirals into chaos when the crate is stolen, forcing Lizbeth to go undercover with an old friend to recover it. The contents of the crate are so powerful that they could ignite a rebellion, making her dangerous mission even more urgent.
