Stephanie Gallagher had a brilliant career as a journalist until a devastating betrayal upended her life. Now she's back in her hometown of Forsyth, Texas, working for the local paper and trying to get back on track. But doing the cutting-edge investigative work that won her a Pulitzer will be difficult in sleepy Forsyth. Her most exciting story is an ongoing series of petty thefts with a peculiar twist: the thief always leaves some cash behind for the victims. Stephanie nicknames the thief the ‘Reluctant Robber,' speculating the perp is a Forsyth resident forced to crime by the economic downturn. Then one night, the Reluctant Robber strikes again, but this time, the Robber leaves more than just cash to be found.
