Baby Queen

For fans of Ozark and Breaking Bad, a page-turning debut involving an Alabama family business, a dead body, a dogged investigator, and three generations of women who are forced to confront the secrets, betrayals, and buried crimes that haunt their family.

When a queen bee can no longer do her job, the worker bees will kill her, producing a new baby queen.

When Natalie Link inherits her beloved grandmother’s honey farm, her plans of expanding the family enterprise are threatened when she discovers a perfectly preserved corpse in a barrel of honey. Suddenly plunged into a conspiracy of buried crimes and betrayal that spans generations, Nat finds herself caught between her grandmother’s shady business dealings and an ex-cop with a grudge.

Bob Sauk destroyed his once promising law enforcement career chasing a lead he couldn’t prove. But with the body in the hives tearing the case wide open again, he finally has the chance to prove he was right all along – if the Link family doesn’t get to him first.
